Exciting weekend! John Waller will be at The Church at Mirror Lake to host a benefit for Africa missions! Be there at 7pm for great music and bring all your friends for a chance to change the world.
We're getting close to the big departure date and the excitement is growing. We are so thankful for all your prayers and the financial support that has come in thus far. YOU ARE AMAZING people to partner with on this mission to Africa.
Next week we go for our vaccines. We found out we only have to get four, instead of the ten we originally thought. Needless to say, Michael is extremely relieved. He was rethinking this whole mission thing...just kidding! But it is nice to receive less shots!
Please continue to pray for financial resources to come in, for every member of the Africa team and for Les Hall, our YWAM trip leader. Thank you again and we hope to see you Sunday night!

I was just sitting here, eating lunch with my 2 beautiful kids, when the importance of what we are going to do in Africa struck me. We take it for granted so often that our kids will have the food, water, medicine and healthcare they need. What if I, as mom, was in a position where I could not provide these basic necessities for them because I myself was sick? My deepest prayer would be that someone would come along to care for my kids. I would pray for someone to come change their world. Well...som mom in Africa is praying that today. And, amazingly enough, God is going to let us be the answer to that prayer. I am overwhelmed at His grace in this moment. It is an awesome and humbling feeling to know that we get to fulfill His words when He said to take care of the orphans and the widows. Thank you for partnering with us to be God's answer to hopeless mom's and dad's in Africa. Please always be praying for the missionaries who are there day in and day out, being the answer. They give their lives to answer the cries of God's children. Pray that we will be able to refresh and assist those missionaries. Thank you again! (8 weeks and 2 days until Mission Africa takes flight!!!!!)

Only 2 1/2 months until AFRICA! We are getting so excited. Pastor Sheryll is meeting with Les Hall this week to finalize our details. Things are moving along and we are so honored that you are part of that! Thanks to your prayers, we know this mission to Africa is going to be everything God has for it.

We've started receiving some financial partnerships and it's so encouraging to know even more of our family in Jesus is on board with the mission! Keep praying and we'll keep updating you.
