Being fluid can be fun. We pivoted in the unexpected when our shower plans fell through.
Team Las Cruces had a blast playing in the pool, chowing pizza and chilling. at our host pastor's home.
Thankful to our gracious host for the use of showers.

We had a cozy debrief as we processed our unique serving, connecting with our Host Church family. We were impacted by the welcoming spirit. We experienced a loving, diverse culture and a meaningful impromptu prayer over our team.
God's powerful message is stirring in our hearts and souls.
Challenged to examine what we are holding onto that God is asking us to release and the blessing that will come in our obedience.
Challenged to fast and pray this week.
