The trip has filled up- twenty of us will be heading to Rome in just a couple weeks. Besides the usual preparations, the group has begun to meet people online in advance of the trip. The idea is to meet up with our new cyber-friends as soon as we get into town. These personal connections make all the difference on a Jet Set; sitting down to coffee with local people gives us cultural insight and lots of great travel advice. We’re going to see if we can get Darrin and Ed out on the floor of a Trastevre discoteca.
If you weren’t able to join us on this trip, we’d encourage you to follow this space as we live-blog the trip. You can also follow our Twitter stream at TheUpstreamC. We’d love to hear from you! Questions are always welcome, and if you’ve ever been to Rome, we’d appreciate any advice on what to see and what to avoid.
Please pray for Ed and Darrin and the group as we prepare. As fun as this trip is going to be, it’s about getting a vision for these great, lost cities. We want to see with spiritual eyes where God is working and how He might use us to build His kingdom. The trip is also about connecting with the work that’s already going on there. We’re looking forward to hearing the stories of the missionaries, church planters, expatriates, and national believers we’re scheduled to meet.
¡Caio!
