Im leaving Sunday for Bogota, Colombia. Ill be there for a week with Samaritans Purse and Operation Christmas Child. Along with Franklin Graham, I will be delivering shoe boxes filled with gifts to children in poverty stricken areas. These boxes were collected last Christmas all over the U.S. Over 8 million were collected last year, and we hope to do it again this year. I am a spokesman once again this year, and Im so excited to see first hand what kind of difference these gifts make in the lives of children. Please pray for our trip. I hate being away from my own children, but I know this is something I am supposed to do. If you guys are part of the Motions Community, then you know what a Motions Resolution is, and this trip was mine. I felt like God was calling me to take a missions trip for a long time now, but kept putting it off. No more going through the motions. Im doing it!!!

Ill be blogging everyday from Colombia. So, keep checking back for updates and hopefully photos.
