Are You Ready to G.O.??

Well folks, here it comes... there is no turning back now... and who would want to for that matter?? In three days -Tuesday- we will be meeting here at CCA to send off this years team of 27 travelers (Mike & Toivo make 29). If you aren't going and would like to join us for the send off, we will be meeting at 2:00pm and plan to be packed up and on the bus at 3:00pm to roll out on our way to JFK.

This years team is pretty dynamic. We have a team of nine that will be staying in Okahandja doing a variety of things. Some may include going to preschools in the mornings or painting some of the buildings and installing a ceiling on the Morsbach property. The afternoons may be filled with afterschool programs, bible studies and other things that Mike has been a part of over the past six months. We have a team of four teachers that will be teaching teachers how to evaluate children and their special needs. And finally we have an eclectic team that will be in Arandis partnering with Hope's Promise Orphan Ministries. That team also includes a group of seven dancers that will be assisting Pastor Tresford's daughter, Pearl, with her dance classes that she teaches.

So, join us on this journey... we will be updating the blog as much as possible. Send us some shout outs, we love to hear from you all! Reading comments around the fire is one of our highlights!

One Week

The money in, the last team training session complete... it must just about be time to go. One week from today we will meet at Christ's Church for the bus ride over to NYC/JFK for our departure.

Before we go there is one more great opportunity - our Commissioning Service at Christ's Church on Sunday June 29th, at 10AM. Our commissioning service will pretty much be a regular Sunday morning worship service but with a iNam: Namibia 2008 theme and prayer time. We hope that many will join us for this send-off worship service and celebration.

The actual departure - Our bus arrives at 2pm on Tuesday July 1st for loading and plans to roll away at 3pm. All are invited to come send the team off.

Getting close, my friends. Let's go to Africa!
