Even though we've been spending our time in Etosha the past few days, we've finished up one more video from Team Liefde's last weekend in Arandis. Enjoy!

TEAM LIEFDE - what an awesome finale!! We shall assume the concert was a blessed success and brought Glory to Him Who sent you to Africa, and blessings to those you have touched! You all just glow the presence of Jesus in the pictures and videos and now Etosha and another finale. I love you all!
TEAM NAMIBIA - I am praying for you all this morning, again and always :-) May Jesus be present in every heart and mind as you debrief and share and enjoy each other and God's creation. Prayers begin in earnest for travel now too. Blessings and love always, grammy duncan
COURTNEY! Hello girl - papa and I just watched the video together (he still says you "jerk" too much LOL) - it was beautiful! Cannot believe this is your last day in Africa - a wonderful and sad time I am sure - but we are getting excited! Three weeks has been a really really long time (but not long enough for the floors to be finished :) We can't wait to see you again in person. Be gracious, be blessed, be rested (sleep on the plane this time - Dallas is coming and you need more energy!) and don't forget to praise God for putting you in Africa in the first place! He is a Mighty God and He wants us to do mighty things for Him! Love you baby.....blessings on you, and prayers always. grammy (and papa)
Silly BAE. They blocked the video so I can't see it until I get home (I only have to wait 10 hours) Steph- have a wonderful flight home and dont forget to call me when you get back!! I'll be here waiting for you...because obviously I dont have many important things going on in my life. And I cant wait to see pictures!! Much love, Kelsey
PS- Moodys car misses you too (have you ever looked at it closely?? I couldnt stop laughing yesterday for a good 10 minutes...)
TEAM NAMIBIA - thought this devotion that came in this morning was perfect ---
We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.
~ 2 Corinthians 4:7, NLT
Kerry driving a combi - no wonder the used the song Collide. Just kidding - now you can have a second career in safari driving in Africa. And Bonnie why are you trying to knock down poor Mike? And who is picking him up and spinning around?
Congratulations to all the Roafs, big and small!!
Can't wait to see you girls.
Love
Mom

C-Ray..... maybe you will get this today; maybe not..... but I am thinking about you so I will write anyway! I am on my laptop. Kaylie has FINALLY just crashed beside me and I am trying to decide whether to catch a snooze beside her or head back to the floors..... (can I mention I am very weary of WOOD????!!!!) BUT I finished my bedroom yesterday and will be able to hopefully have the mattresses in there by friday night (HOORAY!!!)... Frank is coming to give me a hand tomorrow and John says he will come on Friday... The camper is all set for our trip and we are all eager for the break...The kids are finished with swimming - finals went well yesterday. Now just wrapping up summer plans - seems like it just started and feels like it is over already - not sure what happened in between!!! The girls absolutely cannot wait for you to get home - I think you might be sharing your bed Sat night!! Love you and miss you bunches - Grammy and I will be waiting by my computer tomorrow night waiting for a message from you!! Blessings to you all as you
prepare for your journey home....

Hi Honey,(Matt) I can't believe the time in Africa is coming to a close. It probably flew by for you. I can't wait to see you. Hope the return trip is as safe and hassle free as the trip that got you there. The pictures of you are wonderful and I see the love in your heart all over your face. Dad and I are looking forward to having you and Steph home with the rest of the gang!!! Love you more... xxxooo Moma
HI Melissa! It is 7pm our time on wednesday.....54 hours until I see your cute face and hear your sweet voice! I don't think i have EVER missed anyone like I have missed you and I have NEVER been so excited to see anyone in my whole life! I hope you are all having a good close to your trip. As you prepare to travel, don't forget your passport, camera, ipod, phone, and malaria meds. whatever clothes you want to leave for the kids there is fine by me, we'll get them replaced. No new news here. Mem's party is on saturday afternoon, so I ma helping her for the next couple days to get ready. EVERYONE is excited to see you and hear about your trip. I promised that if I could get you upright for the cookout, I would bring you :) You can sleep after sat p.m. as many days as you need :)
I love you, MEAN IT and cannot wait to see you. Fly safe and stay together. I hope God will hold you in his hands as well as he did on your way there.
BTW, looking forward to going to church with you when you get ack. Ryan really enjoyed it, and quite frankly, it felt good to be part of something that happy and real again. You'll have to pray extra for me the weekends I am in VT, but when we are home, I'd like to come too if it's ok with you. You have a wonderful church family and I am eternally grateful for the way they care for you. speaking of which, give my love to Mrs. Griffin!!!
take care baby girl,
Mom xoxoxoxoxo
Team Namibia - precious ones who should be sleeping - here is my prayer for you tonight and as you begin the journey home....
Father, we give you Glory in the team travel Thurs and Friday. Your presence was seen in their travel to Africa (no one in customs, safety) and we thank you that You will be present on the return flights, with each person, each plane, each customs area, and even in a good tailwind that will get them to NYC and safely bused to NH in Your perfect timing.
Lord, we know that You preserve the way of Your saints (Prov 2:8bAmp) and we give You all thanks and praise that You have not allowed their feet to slip (Ps. 66:8-9) and will be with the team tonight as they sleep and tomorrow as they begin the journey back to loved ones who are so eager to embrace these precious ones again.
Thank you precious Lord for giving Your angels charge over the team to accompany and defend and preserve them in all their ways home. The angels shall bear the team up on their hands, lest anyone dash their foot against a stone. (Ps 91:11-12 Amp)
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Phil 4:7 NIV) In peace they will both lie down and sleep, for You, Lord, alone make them dwell in safety and confident trust (Ps. 4:8 Amp) And now sweet sleep for all,
(Is.43:5)Fear not, for I am with you…….I will make you lie down safely. (Hosea 2:18b)
God is with each one of you to direct and guide safely – He is worthy of all praise! Amen
(wish I’d remembered Ps 91:13)before you went to chasing lions: You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot)
Love and importunate prayer for this mission travel time, grammy duncan
Patrice,
I loved the video again. You will have to tell me who your friend was on your hip. You showed her ow to 'twirl,' just like you were in the dining room in Beavercreek.
The beach looked refreshing and possibly COOOOLLLD!!
You all look like you are having such fun on the videos that you may not want to come back!! Your BC sweatshirt at the Beach was a bit unmistakable.
I pray to GOD for a safe trip home and see you SOON!
Love Mom & Dad
PS: Michael will be seeing the newest Batman movie (the Dark Knight) at the Thursday night 12:01 PM premier in Londnderry. But he says thay are showing it at the IMAX in Hoooksett later, as well. He wants to take you there to see it after you get back!
Courtney-
Whether or not you remember me is something else, but I just thought I should share with you and your team just how proud we are to say that we know you!!! You guys definatly acomplished alot and I've done my best to pray for you every step of the way. Good luck and have a safe journey home.

Jer 9:23-4
Team Namibia, What growth in this team during your journey. May you be blessed with as easy a return trip as possible, we will keep the prayers coming.
Love, Tom and Sue Werst
P.S. Sallie, we can't wait for you to be home, we love you and are so proud of you!
P.S.S. Mr.and Mrs.Messer, we sent the itinerary to your email, hope you got it!
Team Namibia - As you all prepare to leave today I pray for God's peace to fill your hearts..... knowing that you have done an amazing work while you were in Namibia and that your families are all anxious to welcome you home. Praying for God's hands to be with you every step of the journey back, just as clearly as he was with you getting there.
Courtney - We all can't wait to see you.....Your presence has been missed greatly and we plan to cherish every one of the 14 hours you will be home!! I have messages already going out to you and Kaylie is bouncing off the walls. Noah looks a little lost now when he says "Co-Co" - like he can't imagine where on earth you have gone to..... We love you!!!
Mom
Hi Mandy,
You are somewhere on route in your journey back home. I can't wait to see you and to hug you. From previous trips I know that this is another time where emotions seem to be on a roller coaster wave, and I will pray for everyone's heart as they re-enter the USA. After writing that I feel like I should be saying "welcome home astronauts, welcome home":O)
Give everyone my love, and hugs will be waiting as you exit the bus.
Loving you endlessly,
Mommy in Mont Vernon
Steph,
Thanks for the video !
Carey
