And we're ready to go!

We're leaving for beautiful Salone tomorrow morning (early. much too early in the morning). And the team (Dave, Megan, Robert, and Peter) is very excited to go!

We'd really appreciate your prayers for this trip and thank you to everyone who has already prayed and supported us.

We'd especially appreciate your immediate prayers that travel would go smoothly. We just found out today that one of our team members cannot go because there was a problem with his visa application. :-(

So, your prayers in this area are definitely wanted!

Here are a few basic goals we have for every 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.

We also will be doing other things like handing out the hundreds of beautiful, hand-made dresses and hats that so many have worked hard on!

And, of course, God always have some unexpected stuff planned. Please pray that we are open and EXCITED for the unexpected!

And, again, we all appreciate your prayers and support so much! Thank you!
