The final countdown has begun. The trip is about two weeks away now. I am starting my final checklist so I hopefully don't forget anything. I got all my shots and vaccinations and started my malaria pills yesterday....what fun! We had our final team meeting and went over our itinerary while we are there. We are going to have so much fun with all the projects we will be helping with. At first I thought we were going there to bless them, but now I feel that we are the ones who will be blessed. It will be such an experience to see another culture and live among them for two weeks.
Thank you again to all who helped support me financially to get to Africa. I am officially fully funded for the trip. Praise God!!! He knocked my socks off with how much support I received from friends and family. Seeing an answer to prayer is yet one more reason to help strengthen my faith in trusting Him. It is always reassuring when I feel He is really listening to all my prayers. There was a lot of pieces that had to be put together in order for this trip to even happen. It is an awesome feeling to pray about something and then trust God to take care of the details and then watch as details unfold in a way that only God could do.
I ask now for your prayers. Please pray for a safe trip for me that God's hand would cover and protect our team while we are away. Most importantly, pray for Annie while she is home alone with the kids and a new baby. Pray for their protection as well and to give Annie the strength and patience to care for the kids while I am away. She is an awesome wife, mother, and follower of Christ.
"Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. Rescue me from my enemies, O Lord, for I hide myself in you. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground." Psalm 143:8-10
I will be bringing my laptop with me on the trip so I can update whenever possible.
Stay tuned......
