Off the Road to in the Air –the count down begins we're
AFRICA BOUND!
How do you summarize a 6 ½ week, 7490 mile ministry trip?
God connected us with so many dear friends old & new; equipped us materially, financially & in many other ways; & even gave us a couple of unexpected adventures!! We are extremely thankful to those that opened their homes for us to stay and share; and those who arranged for us to speak in their local area or who traveled to see us. We were overwhelmed to come home to a living room stacked with boxes of donations we had shipped home. Soon, we had an additional 11 large boxes of donated items from a thrift store to add to the dozen or more bags of clothing that caring friends had already donated.
PRAISE GOD most of the needs which were presented while on the trip have been provided for:
-
Additional water storage in the village
-
A well for Pastor Remise’s church in the wilderness
- Renovations & solar refrigeration for the medical clinic
- Renovations & solar refrigeration for the medical clinic
-
the last days of our trip, we connected with CHAPIN LIVING WATERS who sold us 10 bucket drip irrigation & a ¼
acre drip irrigation kits for 80% off retail!! Just enough for Jon to start
experimenting with drip irrigation thru the dry season.
Travel to South
Sudan -
Since
our return we have been waiting on the Lord, seeking His daily bread, &
asking Him to order our steps in the days ahead. We are having a yardsale to raise needed funds
for the upcoming trip & friends are donating their unwanted items to help
with the cause.
This
trip is important in more ways than we can express. We have much to bring with
us and Jon will train others in installation and use of drip irrigation to grow
food in the dry season for the first time. God has put it on our hearts to
listen to the people, hear their stories & as He builds relationships, look
to God together for all He has.
