Update and Prayer Request

The mission team headed out in the wee hours of the morning, only to be met with unexpected travel complications.  Please pray for traveling mercies as they continue to make their way into Mexico!

Here's an email from Augustine:

So here's an update - flight got delayed from BWI so we missed our connecting flight in Houston to Mexico city.  All flights were booked so the airline even said that this trip may not happen for us.  We were even thinking about flying into Guatemala and crossing the border, but that would be too dangerous.  


We eventually got flights to Mexico city, but have to wait until we get there to see about the flights to Tuxtla.  Four members are definitely going tonight.  Three are still in Maryland and will fly out tomorrow.  My group will stay overnight in Mexico city and try to get to Tuxtla tomorrow.  


Don't know why all the issues are coming up, but we want to be aware of what God wants to do wherever we are.  I had the opportunity to pray for the lady who got us flights to Mexico city tonight, even though others were telling us we probably would have to fly back to Maryland.  She started crying and told me how customers usually treat her like crap when issues arise, but to have someone pray for her instead was a blessing.  

Please keep praying for safe travels and to get there by tomorrow night.  Thanks!
