Upcoming Departure and Travel Info

Hi Friends,

Please excuse the delay in posting and I hope you didn't give up looking (though if you see this post... it would hold true that you have not given up looking...)!!

The semester got crazy and I was unable to update until tonight!

Our teams leave Waco on Sunday morning, the 13th at 8am. That is like 36-ish hours from NOW! WOW.

Well, first of all - fundraising update: THE LORD DID IT! We have raised enough money for everyone on the team to go to Kenya!!!!

Second of all - prayer requests: We are still praying and waiting for one final passport which got caught up in the massive passport backlog that occured when the regulations changed (requiring all US citizens to have a passport for travel to Mexico and Canada).

Third of all - stay posted on this page for updates. I hope we can provide updates at least once or twice while we are away and this will be your best spot to look for info.

Our itinerary is below, for your consideration and prayers:
