Countdown


This is Audrey and her dog, Obi.
Obi is the perfect dog: he never sheds, poops or pees in the house, barks only when we press his paw (plus we can always take the batteries out) and needs no care when we leave for days or weeks.

On that note...only a few days until we leave for Ghana. In addition to the last things that need to be done, the main thing on my heart is Audrey's health and safety. Man, danger and disease were something else back when it was 'just' us traveling. Now, the risks of malaria, meningitis, etc. seem very real.

Knowing that our calling is to help bring more awareness and funding for poverty and fairness in trade, we must heed wisdom, and trust God with even our most precious.

Since we are told to ask, would you please join us in covering, especially Audrey, with prayer for health and safety? Pray also for peace and joy during this journey--that especially her mommy will remember that every day of her life is in the hands of the one who made her. Thank you.

P.S. Matt B: please leave your email address on a comment.

I have been and will continue to keep Audrey, you, Mike, and Gailke in my prayers. We want you all to come home safely and healthy to us, and I have every confidence that God will protect each of you.

How hard it can be to suddenly face the reality of potential sickness. While I will diligently pray for health & safety for all of you, I think it's great that you put aside any fears for the greater good of those you will serve in Africa, now and by proxy through Destiny.
