Leaving on a Jet Plane...


It's time again for another trip back to Sierra Leone. We are so excited to see everyone and continue building the relationships that the Lord has graciously provided. There's a team of 4 of us going, leaving on the 20th. Our main goals this trip are to minister to kids in some of the war wounded/polio camps. 4HIM has several church plants in areas surrounding Freetown. We're hoping to run some simple VBS type things.

We're also hoping to really have a chance to minister and dig in to God's Word with girls at the orphanage. We'll be studying a different woman of the Bible each night. Amanda and I are going to meet with the people running the Orphanage Vocational Training Center to continue moving forward with Bany sales/production. And, we're using it as a scouting trip for the spring in hopes of bringing a larger team to run some more VBS's in the surrounding communities. We will see what God has in store...

Please pray:
-We'll be able to reach the kids and families during the VBS
-Lord's Word would be exciting to the girls, that they will really be able to apply what they are learning to their lives.
-Wisdom and discernment when meeting with the school officials for Bany
-God will use us and that we'll be open to whatever He has for us. Courage to be bold!
-Wisdom in looking ahead for the team in the Spring
-Unity among our team
-Travel mercies

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We'll update and post pictures as soon as we get home.
