Time To Go!!!

I can't believe how quickly this day has come!  At this time tomorrow, I will be flying over the Atlantic Ocean on a life-changing journey!

I wanted to share a brief (tentative :) ) overview of where I will be for the next two weeks:

• June 26 - 27 - Fly from Dayton, toWashington D.C., to Ethiopia, to Uganda
• June 28 - July 2 - Kampala & Jinja, Uganda - Minister to children - mainly boys - in three children's jails (SixtyFeet), My Father's House Orphanage, Pillars of Hope, Amani Baby Cottage, the Karamajong tribe, Amazima, and Return Ministries
• July 3 - Fly to Ethiopia and then to Nairobi, Kenya
• July 4 - 8 - Kenya - Minister to children at Hope Community Center Orphanage, Fiwagoh Orphanage (in Nakuru), and Grace of God Children's Home (in Eldoret)
• July 9 - 10 - Fly from Kenya, to Ethiopia, to Rome, to Washington D. C., to Dayton!

I should be able to post on my blog a few times while I am there...hopefully with pictures! 

What an incredible three months of preparation and anticipation this has been... 

From the first twinges of the Holy Spirit putting a burden on my heart for the children of Africa...
...to the clear opportunity that God put right in front of me to go this summer with my dear friend, Diana...
...to the way that He laid it on the hearts of my precious family and friends to provide the needed finances in a really big way...
...to the way that He sovereignly placed our missions team together...
...to the peace that He has given to me and to my family...

...this experience has drawn me closer to my Awesome Heavenly Father than I have ever been.  My understanding of His love has grown immensely, and I can't wait to show that love to the people of Africa!

In my weakness...in His strength (2 Corinthians 12:9),
