Off to Africa

It is Thursday and everyone is busy getting everything in order to leave for 11 days.  It seems like this past month has brought on a world of pain and hurt in my life personally.  I sometimes wonder why we see so much pain, but realize this is not our permanent home, and we need to continue to hold tight to God’s word, spur each other on, and keep our eyes focused on the cross.

Our group will be traveling from 8:00 AM tomorrow morning until late Saturday evening.  I am hoping to post a picture of us tomorrow.  I will have our team members listed out too.

Please be praying for safe travels and being able to check all of the luggage (15 suitcases).  Pray that we have no issues with the computers for J-life (14 of them) that we are using as our carry-ons.  Pray that all of the brick on the building is complete and ready for us.  Pray for all of our loved ones here in the states, while we are away.

And, in all circumstances, that our group will be made more like Christ, and that we will be used to be His hands and feet. 

Lastly, there is a map that has been circulating that shows how far away we are from the Ebola outbreak.  The black star is where we will be. Hopefully this will ease the minds of our family and friends back here that have voiced concern regarding us traveling to Africa.

Posted below are some new pictures of the camp house.
