Hi Everyone!

Thanks for coming to my blog again...it has been a challenging couple of weeks. I am learning about grace and humility and Philippians 3:7-14 has come alive to me in new way. More on these later...

Our outreach team is doing well. We've been visiting orphanages, doing puppet shows and songs with the kids, etc. I'm eager for us to develop as a team, especially when we go on our local outreach in mid-December.

My fundraising is coming along for the Gambia trip with some gifts and some pledges, thank you so much! I'm still looking for people to commit to particular days for prayer. Oh, and since our dates have changed a little and all the flights from here to London are booked through mid-January, the last ticket an agent quoted me was $4896 per person, yikes! I'm confident we'll find something cheaper eventually.

Tomorrow we are taking the jolting, up-and-down journey to Kingston for those who need yellow-fever shots and then we're off to hike Blue Mountain over the weekend. It should be adventurous with 3 of us staff and 12 students trekking up the arduous road/trail from riverbed to peak with a chance of thundershowers on both days. I'm still banking on a spectacular sunrise.

I'll let you all know how it goes when I get back!

Peace,
