Getting ready to leave

I will be traveling to Africa on a missions trip under the covering of IAM, the missions ministry of Adullam Christian Fellowship. I will be going with my husband Randy; my two sons, Randy and Collin; Adam and Melissa Gaye'; and Lauren Ryan. This is the first mission trip for IAM since Katrina, at least the first one out of the country. The Lord has had us in missions ministry right in our own backyard. God has blessed us and sent missionaries from all over the nation to help our Katrina-devastated area, but now it is time for us to give back and reach out to those in Africa.

We will leave October 11 and return October 30. We will stop in Rome on the way there and Paris on the way home. Our ministry in Africa will take us to Pretoria, Johannesburg, and Cape Town in South Africa. We will also cross the border and go into Mozambique for a few days. Randy will be preaching in churches in these locations, and we will have the opportunity to do street ministry and visit orphanages.

Much preparation has gone into this trip. We have had to get immunizations, malaria medication, and passports; pack clothes for two continents, two hemispheres, and two seasons; make sure everything is in order at the church; and, of course, send Cisco off to "summer camp." Collin has had to do extra work at school since he will be out for three weeks. He also worked hard this past summer at the snowball stand to earn the money for the trip. We will all be paying our own way. Any donations received will go directly to the ministries and people of Africa.

I will be updating this blog during the trip provided I have internet service. I will be taking pictures and will post some on here, too. Please take this journey with us by reading my blog so that you can know where we are and what we are doing. In this way, you can be part of this trip, too, by interceding for us and praying for God's will to be done.

I have had six different prophecies and words from God about this trip. I know it's His will for us to go, and I pray that He will fulfill His purpose through us. Please pray for us as we go forth.

Because He lives,
