There is a promise that the Lord has to His people and to the nations. Here on campus there are flags raised for every nation represented through the student body. The photograph above was captured by one of our friends, and it serves as a beutiful testimony that the Lord has a promise yet to be fulfilled on this earth.

We (the Sheplers) find it a great joy to be part of that fulfillment as we are preparing to be sent out across the world. Throughout the later part of this month, 50+ teams are going to be sent from Hawaii to countries all across the globe, unified by one purpose: to serve the least, the lost, and the lowest, in and through the name of Jesus. 

This group of young people are unlike any we have ever seen before. Their hunger to serve, no matter to cost, their desire to go, no matter the circumstance, and their love for Jesus, deep in the depths of their hearts, is unparalleled. Without a doubt we are daily in the presence of true world changers; heroes of the faith who will stop at nothing until they see the Great Commission completed.

I wish with all my heart that every one of you could experience what get to experience here. These past few months have been truly awe-inspiring, and we aren't even half way done with DTS. Caroline and I are so excited that you guys have chosen to follow us on this mighty adventure in the pursuit of our calling.
