Soria, here we come!

Hello world of blogging! 
This first post is more informative of what we will be doing. First things first, when I say "we" I'm referring to myself and my fellow BRH members. Baylor Religious Hour Choir, or BRH is a worshipping/traveling choir/ministry that I am so blessed and proud to be a member of. Fun fact of the day taken directly from the BRH website (www.brhchoir.com) "The BRH choir is one of the oldest student-led organizations at Baylor University. Founded by Dick Baker in 1948, BRH has continued to minister to Baylor and Texas through regular on-campus and weekend travel concerts and also around the world in its annual mission trip. The choir is made up of fifty auditioned individuals from all areas of study that come together to sing, to encourage one another and to worship the Lord corporately as a choir and as a family." As a new member to BRH this semester, I have enjoyed getting to know all of the members and I am so grateful for their friendship and huge hearts for the Lord. I am so blessed to say that I have the opportunity to go with my fellow BRH'ers on a mission trip this summer, as BRH takes an annual mission trip every summer. This year we are going to Soria, Spain and we are all so thrilled for this wonderful experience we are anxiously awaiting. We will be there from May 13-26 and "we plan to perform at various locations around the city, visit schools, and teach worship music to different groups in the city. We will be working with a couple named Jimmy and Anjani Cole and their two children Carson and Currian. They are missionaries affiliated with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and are working to build the spiritual community in Soria. We as a choir are excited to be able to share our various spiritual backgrounds and journeys in support of this ministry. Jimmy and Anjani have partnered with other spiritual leaders in the community to form a ministry called, “Abre Tus Manos” which in Spanish means, “Open Your Hands”. They are devoted to helping individuals in Soria to find a connection in the spiritual community." (words from our Tour Coordinator, Brett!) I ask that you would pray for the hearts of the people in Soria, as we expect to bring revival to this town, also please pray for the preparation that has been invested in this mission trip, and for the hearts that are ready to serve God by spreading His word with others. Thanks so much!
