Hello Everyone!!! This is my very first blog and I hope everyone gets it and if there are any problems let me know.
As of right now I will be flying out of Wilmington, NC in less 24 hours! WOW – where did the time go? I have been waiting for this day to come for so long and it is finally here and to be quite honest….I don’t feel ready. The Lord knows all the details and if I don’t have “everything” it will be ok. There are people all over the world who survive on much less and I need to learn to do the same.
If you didn’t receive a copy of my itinerary here it goes…
June 5th fly out of Wilmington to Atlanta. At 6:25pm we will be departing ATL to London arriving there on Wednesday AM. We will have a 12 hour layover in London and Lord willing may get to see some sights. Then we leave London at 7:30pm and fly to Johannesburg, South Africa. We arrive in SA on Thursday AM and then drive to Swaziland. It makes me tired just thinking about it. Please pray for us to have no problems with luggage, layovers, delays and that we can rest as much as possible as we travel.
Once we get to Africa we have been given a tentative itinerary and it goes as follows…
Swaziland, South Africa, Mozambique, Thailand, Myanmar/Cambodia,
(November and December), Philippines, Latin America (Peru, Nicaragua and/or Mexico).
The last couple of weeks have been full of parties and goodbyes and tears. It has been a sweet time of fellowship and I am so grateful to the Lord for wonderful friendships. I have learned what a gift God gives us to have sweet fellowship with Christian brothers and sisters in Christ.
Praise the Lord – I am fully funded!
His provision has been abundant and I am so grateful to not have to be concerned with it anymore.
If you are interested in supporting me personally you can send money to my parents house b/c they are managing my accounts while I am out of the country.
Please send it to:

We will also be able to receive packages/mail while we are in Africa.
If you would like to send something the address is as follows:

There are some specifics for the packages.
Please DO NOT send any valuables through the mail and clearly state a $0 value for the package. Note that it is a gift with no commercial value. This helps avoid taxes through customs. Packages must arrive no later than July 30 – allow extra time than what the postal service tells you.
I just want to thank each and every one of your for your support and I can’t wait to share with each of you how the Lord works over the next year!
Blessings, Courtney
