Change of Venue -- Namibia!


Well friends, a quick update. Most of you know, my mission location has now been changed to Namibia. The director of the orphanage in Tanzania that we were supposed to go to was in a car accident and is now not able to run the orphanage. Please pray for him (his name is Samuel) and his 5 children. Pray that work may still continue and lives changed at the orphanage there in Musoma, Tanzania.


As of yesterday, me and my team will be going to Rundu, Namibia. Namibia is a large country on the western coast of Africa, just north of South Africa. The picture at the top there is where I'll be, just across the border from Angola. It sounds like a beautiful area and the time of year I'll be going there (late winter/early spring) should also be great. My team consists of 5 women; 3 teachers and 2 nurses. We will be working at a sanctuary for at-risk children, mostly orphans. These children eat, play, and learn at the sanctuary. Some of them also live there. The sanctuary is built on church grounds. On the grounds is also a missionary house; that is where we will most likely be staying. The best news: looks like there is running water and electricity! That was a big shock and nice surprise for me.

Please keep me and my team in your prayers; we have about 2 months before we're set to leave and still don't have exact dates, details, visas, plane tickets, etc. God will bring together all the details if He wants us there! He is faithful! Continue to pray for my financial support to be raised. I have about $2,800 left to go. Thanks so much! God bless.
