last minute details

Our PASSPORTS are HERE!!!! We sent our passports off to the Embassy of Niger in Washington DC about 6 weeks ago and although their website says it only takes 2 weeks for them to process visas, we STILL didn't have our passports back last week. I was starting to panic! After a few phone calls, emails, a prepaid return envelope, a scheduled pickup and a tracking number, they finally arrived the end of last week. Shew!

We met for the final time on Saturday night as a team at Dale and Lana Carol Houk's house. (Thanks Dale for the good cookin' and Lana Carol for being a great hostess.) We had a great time of fellowship and devo together. I cannot believe that this time next week we'll be IN Africa!

Please pray for safe travel - the part I'm worried about most is getting everyone and everything through the airports, security checks and customs!! Pray for the people of Tagabati as we enter their village. Pray that God will somehow use us (young, white folk from across the world that don't even speak their language) to share HIS LOVE with a people who need Him! Pray that we will be willing and open to whatever He asks of us and that as we obey He will change our hearts as well.

  1. When Tony went to Kenya his suitcase didn't make it off the plane with him so he had to go on without it & make due. It ended up being a way that God increased the faith of Jamilyn & Dara. They prayed for "daddy's 'cuitsase' to find him so he could have shampoo to wash his hair." When he emailed that the airport had delivered it, they knew it was because they had talked to God & He had heard them!

    We are praying for you & can't wait to hear stories of the great things our God has done!
