Wow, it’s been such a long time since my last post. I’ve been to Burkina Faso, Mali, Ghana, South Africa, Zambia and Bostwana in just the past 4 weeks! I’m still in Ghana, actually, and will return home tomorrow. I’m really missing my family!
It’s been a great four weeks though. We took interns to survey the Dogon people in Mali and were amazed again at how God has prepared this people group to receive the Good News!
After survey I was able to be home for a day and a half before I headed off to Zambia for a Church Planting Movements conference with David Watson. The conference was AWESOME, life transforming and paradigm shifting. It was also a great blessing to be with Matt, Marty and Dave (present and future teammates in Rwanda) It was such a ‘God Thing’ that we were all there together. I’m really excited about what God is going to do in Togo and Rwanda in the years to come!
Of course, since we were only 15 minutes away from Victoria Falls we just had to go:) I’ll post some pictures later this week. It was beautiful! We stayed until the moon came out and saw a lunar rainbow. How Majestic is His Name!
After the Falls we enjoyed two days in Chobe National Park seeing more of God’s wonderful and beautiful creation! Like our trip in 2005 we got to see the “Big 5″ again: Lion, Elephant, Cape Buffalo and Leopard, as well as a ton of other amazing animals and birds. Beautiful!
Yesterday (Monday) we got up at 5:30am, packed up, drove by the Chobe river in Bostwana and saw a spotted leopard, drove to the Zambezi river, took a boat across to the Zambian side, drove to Livingstone, flew to Joburg, South Africa, changed planes and then flew to Accra, Ghana! It was an amazing day! I praise you Lord for opening our eyes to see you wonderful creation and for keeping us safe all along the way!
Thank you all for praying for my family while I was gone. God kept them safe and we’re excited to be reunited tomorrow!
One more thing, the Parkers arrived tonight for a couple weeks with us visiting Watchi-land. We go WAAAYYYY back with the Parkers and it’s always a blessing to spend time with their family.
