Today we're leaving on the road for three weeks to join in the fun on the pass it on tour! We'll be spending each week in a different country towns, towns that people here in Australia have been like, "Why in the world would you go to these towns?" This is because they're in the middle of nowhere, basically. It'll be sweet to see the Bush of Australia, but that's not why we're going. We're going to serve these towns; putting on events in the town during the night and doing service projects and visiting the Schoolies during the day. It doesn't seem like much, but after hearing how the tour has been going for the past few months from other teams, I'm SO excited! We get the opportunity to travel to these random towns (Beadesert, Boonah, and Warrick) with the sole purposes of building relationships with the people there and serving the community.. when people who live here haven't ever gotten the chance to travel to these places to do that. It's exciting! The coolest part is actually that we are pairing this with an intercessory act of running. Each week, there will be groups that instead of driving to the town, they'll be running. Yes, literally running. Whoever is on for that week will be taking 4K each and then rotating until they arrive at the town. During this time, they'll be praying for the land they're running on as an act of taking back the ground of Australia and declaring it God's; praying for whoever and whatever comes to mind. It's an amazing thing to be pushed physically and spiritually at the same time... something really powerful and I'm so blessed to be able to be a part of it. So, yeah that's just a quick lowdown of what my time will be like until we get back on December 9th, it's strange to think that we'll be gone that long, but it'll be awesome! I won't have internet for that time, but I'll post something to update how it went when I get back.
Much much love,
Lyss

Outreach Location!
Although we don't have personal pictures yet of our destinations, here are some pictures to give an idea of where we will be in South East Asia. Smack dab on the equator, temperatures average out to about 90 degrees Farenheit and about 36 degrees Celsius. We will be traveling around and working with orphanages as well as other involvement (to be determined), but here's a sneak peak of what our journey is going to look like!
Kuching, Malaysia
Pontianak, Indonesia
