How many of you could describe some of the
following statements below as part of your life experience, especially over the last 18 months?
• You have more things to do at work, home or school than is humanly possible to do. • The things you are working on seem almost impossible to complete due to circumstances beyond your control (like pandemic restrictions). • You find yourself tired, exhausted, and feeling like you have little or no control of normal day to day events within your work and family life. • Resources and moral support seem to be at an all-time low. • You get asked to come up with a creative new way to perform everyday tasks that you feel ill equipped, weak, and unqualified to do. • You are fearful of how things will turn out. Indian leader friend (on right) Travis traveled with on the 2012 trip with a tribal pastor/family.
