as of right now, we are waiting at the airport in hong kong, our flight scheduled to leave close to 9:50 p.m. it is about 9:50 p.m. as i type this and the gate has not yet been announced. b-e-f, l-e-x. i-b-l-e, be flexible! should be our world race cheer.
t.i.a., says allison, our calm and cool squad leader, this is africa. yessss. we’ve not even set foot on the plane, and yet, i get what it means now. i suppose this is what i had read about and had in mind when i thought of the madness that’s the world race. weeee!
also, i had emailed some of you that my team and team quake would spend our december in lodwar, kenya, living among the turkana people. we would get a new name, live in the village with the families as we preach, evangelize, teach, pray with, for, to this relatively unreached group. then en route to the airport earlier today, we learn that this ministry assignment is subject to change as the pastor we are to partner with appears to have went awol.
all teams were warned not to expect electricity for the month, and most likely throughout our three months. we are also now warned that we’d have little, if any, internet access while on the continent.
so, friends, please guard us with and keep us in your prayers. love you all.
