Hello again!

Well, we're FINALLY off to Africa again! And the team (Dave, Cody, and Ryan) and I are super-excited about what God is going to do in Sierra Leone this trip.

We'd love your prayers and thank you to everyone who has prayed and supported us so far! It really means a lot!

Here are a few goals we have for this trip:

• To share Jesus' love and hope!
• To help the children understand that they are not alone or forgotten or unwanted. So that even when we're not there, they'll understand that Jesus is always with them. And that He loves every single one of them and knows each of their names.
• To witness Jesus' healing of hearts and bodies.
• To visit some recently finished wells / scout out locations for MORE wells!
• To teach the girls about their importance and worth as an individual, to society, and - especially - their absolute worth to God. Encouraging them to pursue an education and to reject the lies that they are not important and don't mean anything as people.
  

These are just a few goals (and I'm SURE there are some I am forgetting), and I KNOW that God has some crazy-awesomeness planned. Please pray that we are open and ready for whatever God wants to do.

Also, please pray for things like airports, luggage, and security -- always stressful! (For some strange reason I always have a recurring nightmare that I'm gonna accidentally pack a machete or something in my carry-on! ;-D)

Once again, the entire team so appreciates all the support we have received. It is because of the prayers and financial support of all of you that we get to go visit recently finished wells and to see Ramatu's beautiful face! Thank you.
