London Round 1

I am sitting in Heathrow aiport, London in a corner where I can pick up some sort of internet signal! The flight went smoothly and I met some really neat people. I even met the author named Ravi Zacharias and I sat next to a couple on their way to the mission field undercover! Now I must go find batteries and a bathroom. I hope everone back home across the pond is doing well!

Malawi, Africa

He must become greater; I must become less. John 3: 30

I have been given the wonderful opportunity to go to Malawi Africa. I will be leaving the US on June 29 and stay until July 20. I am also going to stop in London for a few days on my way back. (You know, since its on the way and all...) God is so, so good and has paved the way for this trip by making preparations flow smoothly and by providing financially. Praise God for his faithfulness and thank you my brothers and sisters for all your support! I am going to intentionally wait to go into detail about the country's needs and the organization I will be working with so that I will have something to occupy myself with during my brief 8 hour layovers...
A few prayer requests:
1. Please pray for safe travels and for God to place people in my path that I can talk to and start new friendships with.
2. The organization Ministry of Hope and the work that God is doing through the nationals in Malawi.
3. My physical, spiritual, and emotional health.
4. The hearts and souls of the people I will encounter.
5. That like Paul, "whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should." (Ephesians 6:19-20)

Under Construction...

Hello and welcome!

I created this blog to share my future travels with family and friends. God is doing amazing things around the world and I can't wait to share what I have been given the opportunity to experience. I will try to get 'settled into' the blog by sometime this weekend. For now, I will be packing for the next adventure!
