We are off

With CNN announcing results from Iowa in the background, we wait to board our flight to Chicago. From Chicago we head to DC, then on to Johannesburg (with a stop to refuel in Dakar, Senegal). We'll be in Jo-burg Thursday afternoon. On Friday we fly into Mozambique and by late Saturday morning we will be in Lichinga. This is where we lived and worked for CRWRC 15 years ago. Our experiences there were deeply formative. We look forward with eager expectation to connecting with old friends there, but at the same time have concern that some may not have survived the many threats to life in this economically impoverished country.

We ask for your prayers along our journey. And we commit to trying to keep you posted on our progress. God's peace to all of you in the new year.

We'll be living for seven weeks out of these backpacks!

    Ruth and Greg: I'm a bit jealous reading this - how exciting to travel to another continent and to go back to Lichinga. New, rich experiences await! I will pray that you'll be alive and aware to God's blessings, great and small, and that you'll be able to receive what he has in store as well as be free-flowing channels of his love and grace. So good to see you at Neland for a brief time!

    Blessings on your travels. Hoping you'll find surprising evidences of beloved community in Mozambique.
