Packing Pictures and Itinerary




Families and Friends,

We have spent the whole day preparing for our departure tomorrow. Our team has been packing the supplies, running to the grocery store, making copies for the finance workshop as well as many other things. Needless to say we have been very busy.

Thanks to everyone for your prayers and support throughout our preparation process!

Please continue to keep us in your prayers throughout the next month.

Talk to you in Burkina Faso!
