I would like to give you an update on what is taking place with my trip to South Africa…

I am departing on Saturday, March 14, in the morning and will be returning on March 28. I will be flying on Delta from Dallas to Atlanta and then to Johannesburg. We are still working on travel plans from here to Dallas since it is Spring Break week and most of the airlines are booked. We might take a personal plane from Lubbock to Dallas. We should know more in a couple of days. It is going to take about 27 hours to make the entire journey.

Everyone has been very generous in their support for this awesome mission. Several people have asked what the partner-funding would be used for.

Here are some of the uses of the main part of the funding:
Lodging
Meals
Guest Meals
Evangelization Materials for refugees
Medical Supplies for refugees
Food Supplies for refugees
Car Rental
Note: Airline Ticket - Paid for by a generous donor.

I am attempting to raise $5,000 outside of the airline ticket. A portion of the partner-funding will go directly to help refugee missions. This will be supplied in the forms of a medicine acquisition once I am I South Africa. This mission is a humanitarian mission trip. Some of the monies will be used for feeding refugees. There could be other immediate needs to support the mission we determine once we are in South Africa.

You generosity and prayers are desperately appreciated and needed. This trip is not something to take lightly. I hope to be your pathway and help to a struggling and dying group of people.

I have a website you can go to that will keep you updated on my activities.
