Africa here we come again…

Well it is official, our visas are in hand, and we are setting off in a couple of weeks for Nigeria again this summer. We covet your prayers. I keep writing we… this year we includes my wife Susan, my son Daniel, his girlfriend Alice and myself.

At this point we are inundated with all the “stuff” involved with a 4-week trip to Africa; vaccinations, malaria medications, confirming arrangements for housing & travel from airports, and sooooo much more. Susan is developing contacts with the Care Center Staff, so she can plan how to best help and serve them and the orphans in the care-centers. And as opportunities crystallize she then needs to gather all the necessary supplies. I am busily preparing my homiletics lectures, putting together syllabi and assembling references and materials I will need in teaching. When teaching in Nigeria, it is critical to bring all the supplies you will need because they may not be available in country. The real problem is trying to fit this in and around full-time “day” jobs!

We truly appreciate all your prayers and support…

I hope this blog will help you travel with us on our 2009 African Adventure!
