It’s hard to believe that it’s already been two weeks since I began ordering equipment for the media team in Kenya. In that time equipment has been ordered from a number of places, and most of it has arrived already! Now comes the job of setting it up to make sure it works as expected, without glitches. And that’s not the only thing I have to worry about! I need to get a visa for Cameroon as I plan to fly there when I’m finished in Kenya. I just got a paper that I needed for that, so I will be getting the application in tomorrow Lord willing. And of course I need to get plane tickets for the trip as well. Sometimes it’s hard to see these falling in place in time for me to leave in the next few weeks! But I’ve seen that before, and God is faithful.
I’m planning at this point to fly out sometime around the end of the month and spend one to two months in Kenya to help the team get started, and perhaps some other traveling with Gary. In January or so, then I plan to fly to Cameroon and spend three months or so there before returning to the US. It looks like the tickets will be flexible so if something turns up I should be able to change them without too much trouble. I pray that FaithCamp can happen in Tanzania, but at this point we’re not sure if it’s going to actually happen or not… I also wanted to go to Thailand, but I’m not sure that that will work out either. But I don’t think it’s a good idea to buy all the tickets at the same time anyway, so it’s good to have the flexibility. So things may change at the end of this trip, but at this point I’m going to move forward with the initial travels and tickets. Please pray that God will provide as there is still needs for funds. The tickets that I need to get for the trip that I am currently planning cost about $2600. And I know there will be some personal expenses more than just the plane ticket. So if you feel that God wants to use you to help out toward this, you can go to the website — Jesus for Asia, and donate there online, or by mail or phone. I know that a number of you have already donated for my travels in this project, and I just want to give you a heartfelt thank you.
I will continue to post updates as often as I can. If you would like to get email updates whenever I post, and read the updates before they are old news, then please feel free to go to the Mailing List page up at the top menu and enter your email address. God Bless
