Eleven hours from now and our little group of 26 will be at the airport awaiting to embark on a very unique adventure. There will be little or no sleep for our team as we must meet at 4am Thursday at BBC to begin our much anticipated mission. We have a general outline of our duties, however as with all mission trips we will remain flexible. I called this trip unique, we will literally be living history for the next few weeks. Hopefully, with God's help and leadership, we will help bring hope and healing to a land that has seen much turmoil and unrest . Just ten years removed from apartheid, we will be going where few mission groups, especially white Americans , have been willing to work. HIV/AIDS have devastated this part of the world and have left many adults and children with little or no hope for a future, ANY future. Please pray that we can do some small part to help change this.
I'm sure our views and hearts will be dramatically changed by this experience, as for now we are not sure what to expect. We can only be willing to be used as instruments to show love and grace to those that have basically been outcast from their lives and homes.
I personally look forward to working with the other 25 members that have sacrificed time, money, and themselves to be a part of this. We will try to keep you updated each day.
