3 weeks and counting

In a little less than 3 weeks, a team of 26 members will embark on a journey from Brentwood, TN, to Cape Town, South Africa where we will be assisting the Living Hope Church with mission work. Details are still not cemented as to what each team member will be doing on a day-to-day basis, but we know we will be helping with the construction of a hospice for AIDS patients, working with children and teens in an after-school program, teaching crafts, and doing some evangelism and outreach. But not to worry! We are told that there is a great need for us, and will be put to good use the two weeks we are there. Each team member has been called by God to be on this trip for many different and specific reasons that only He knows, so we are excited to see how God can use us as a team.

Our group leaves Nashville on Thursday morning, September 30th, and will arrive in Cape Town, South Africa Friday morning (can we say jet lag?). This first day will be spent unpacking and seeing some of the sights, because the nest day we jump right into our work. No rest for the weary! More to come later...
