We are down to ten days until departure. Tomorrow we will meet with our families, pastors and prayer partners for the Pizza, Prayer and Packing Party! The donations and financial gifts continue to come in and my hope is that we will be able to get everything in the 16 suitcases set aside for supplies and under the 50 lb. weight limit!

Not included in the weight limit will be the gifts of animals and bicycles. So far we will have the opportunity to gift 12 bicycles to pastors and dozens of goats and chickens to widows and grandmothers. Yeah!

We would like to extend the invitation to all readers to pray for the group as we lead workshops . . . as we visit those living with HIV/AIDS . . . as we paint and build fences . . . as we share bible stories . . . as we make new friends and for some of us as we reacquaint ourselves with some old ones.

Together we want to be the hands and feet of Christ in this place and for His purpose. Our journey begins May 22!
