Why London?

You may ask yourself, "Why are Mike and Nicole Lovato going to London?" Or maybe you haven't even thought about it at all (that's okay, we forgive you).

About 5 months ago there was a little announcement that our church was doing a mission trip to London in August for a week. I passed it over without much thought. The next weekend I saw the announcement again and this time I read it a bit more thoroughly. I decided to begin praying about what God wanted me to do for this trip. Was I supposed to go? Was I supposed to give money to it? What? I ran it by Mike and I told him that if I went I would love it if he could come too. We both prayed about it some more and finally decided that God had in mind for us to go on the trip. We sat down with the pastor who is leading the team and he gave us a few more details about the trip and the dates of the next meetings and we were off and running.

Our teams consist of two groups (which I will explain in a coming post) and a total of 13 people. Three of the people are students, which I am more excited about than anything. We will be mainly working with Muslims, Sikhs, and Hindus.

I know that God has called us to go on this trip and that everything will work as He has planned! We are still trying to raise a bit of money for our trip, so for anyone who reads this please be praying that all will be provided before we leave on August 3rd. Thanks!!
