This will probably be the last update that we send out from this side of the ‘big pond’. We are busily handling last minute details and packing – and repacking. We’re filled with mixed emotions as we say our ‘good-byes’. We’re very excited to be returning to ICA at last, but so sad to be leaving our friends and family for a while.
God is using you and your overwhelming response to our support needs to show us once again that returning to ICA at this time is what He wants for us – and for ICA. We are close, very close, to being 100% supported; we believe that God will supply even the small deficit before we leave on June 1st.
We will try to send these updates every couple of weeks, but communication from the campus of ICA is one thing that needs to be restored. Currently there are no phone lines to the campus. We will be using an internet caf? in Bouak? for e-mails.
Please pray:
— For our family members. Everyone one of them is supportive of what we’re doing, but good-byes are tough!
— For travel safety, especially within the country of Ivory Coast on Friday of next week. A friend who recently made the trip faced 21 official/unofficial road stops before getting to ICA. These can be very tense situations, especially when you’re communicating with someone in a foreign language.
