And I said, "Here am I, send me!"

As we pack for our trip to West Africa at the end of the week, I think of each one of you that made this trip possible through your prayers and financial support.

At the first of the year I felt God telling me that we were going in October but with only a few hundred dollars in our travel account, I didn't know how that would be possible.

Then I was reminded of... "But with God, all things are possible"

A big part of this is due to the support of Raptim Travel. We are on a very tight budget this year but God works through everyone to accomplish what He starts.

We will be on a "fact finding" mission to investigate human trafficking, village needs (both medical and spiritual), school  construction, growing coffee, cocoa and bananas and installing one solar power unit.

October 17 will mark the 3rd anniversary of "HE sent me" and I can't think of a better way to spend it than to be on the mission field. And we just learned a couple of weeks ago that due to the success of our first solar power installation in the "bush" maternity clinic in Balembar (just 15 months ago), the Burkina Faso government has installed solar panels in every clinic in the country!

IMPORTANT: I was just made aware that travel warnings have been issued to "Westerners" traveling in the northern part of Africa.

Please continue watching our blog for specific prayer needs!

There is no more important team member on a mission trip than the ones that commit to meet with the Lord daily on behalf of the ones who go. Thank you for being a part of the team!
