Love146 Partnership Trip: By the Numbers

The countdown is on... I'm going to be starting the journey in less than 24 hours.

Here's a quick breakdown of the numbers:

10: flights

9: days

7: forms of medication I'm bringing

6: team members

5: hotels

4: books to read: Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder; The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver; What's so Great About Christianity? by Dinesh D'Souza; Sex Trafficking: Inside the Business of Modern Day Slavery by Siddharth Kara

3: countries

1: new safehome to open

I'm not counting on being able to blog while I'm over there, but I'm going to come back with a lot of thoughts and experiences to share.

I've included a recent video from Love146's Rob Morris, who I will have the chance to meet on this trip. He has some interesting thoughts on the language of hope, and toward the end he mentions the Philippines safe home that will be opening the last day of our trip. I cannot tell you how honored I feel that I have been given the privilege to be there on such a special, momentous day. A huge, grateful, overwhelmed thank you to the people of Love146.

I hope you all have a great few weeks, and I'll see you on April 30.

Love,

Emily
