And they're off!

The 2009 SMPers spent a week in Grand Rapids for orientation in early June and then departed for the countries where they will be learning and serving over the summer. Their travels went smoothly, and we didn't hear any stories of lost luggage - a minor miracle!

Now the teams are all knee-deep in learning about another culture, studying another language, eating new foods (the Philippines team is to be commended for trying balut), and serving alongside sisters and brothers around the world. Please join us in praying that God will work powerfully in and through them this summer!
