Dalton is not coming with me. I'm not sure if this qualifies as bad news or good news. I was upset, of course, when we found that he couldn't come. Long story short; he has four and a half more years of reserve and with his contract he is not allowed to leave the country. The Lords Will be done and although I would like him to come, God just has something else in mind and I'm perfectly okay with that! This mission is all for Him and because of Him so I won't question the way He does things.
I am only 101 days away from my departure and have less then $2,000 left to raise. I am so thankful to all of these wonderful people who have been graciously donating and praying for me.
This experience has already been changing me and teaching me so many things. I feel so humbled by everything and I have really been able to see Christ in others. The spirit of giving is truly wonderful.
At first I was thinking that some of these lovely people were crazy for giving me so much. How selfish of me? This giving isn't to me, its through me, its to these children and through them straight to Jesus. "Whatever you did for the least of my brothers, you did for me". Its so wonderful to see Christ at work, its amazing. We all give because Jesus gave and that's what He asks of us.
Peace Love & Africa
