The Mission Trip Team

Here is a photo of our mission trip team that went to Mulungwishi, DR Congo, Africa.

The Connection Church in Africa

This is a picture of me and my new friend Cedrick. Notice the Connection Church shirt he is wearing! Cedrick is the seminary’s IT guru. The room we are in is the computer lab. The computer lab was not operational while we were there because we had no electricity.

Apple ACSP Course

I am very happy to say that the Apple course that I have been working on the past couple of months has payed off. The first class we had was last week and the instructor said that it was a smooth course, he loved teaching it, and the students enjoyed it. Plus, the pass rates for the students were outstanding. Go APPLE!!! He is now teaching a second class this week!!! Yeah!!!!

Mulungwishi, DR Congo Misson Trip

I got most of the pictures up on my Google album.  I still have pictures that I need to take off my iPhone and upload.  My Google album has the pictures from most of the team that went on the mission trip.  I am still waiting on two of the other team members that I am getting pictures from.

Mulungwishi, DR Congo Misson Trip

I made it back home yesterday evening safe and sound.  It is so good to be back home.  I actually got to take a hot shower…it felt so wonderful.  Melanie and I went to Whataburger for supper and let me tell you, a hamburger never tasted so wonderful!  I was so happy to see the kids again, I thought my heart was going to explode when they ran up to me.  I will be posting a lot more about the mission trip.  There is so much to tell.  I took around 1000 pictures, plus with the pictures I got from the team, we have around 2000 total.  Plus we got some digital video.  It will take some time to upload everything, but I will start to post pictures in a couple of days.  I have so many emotions going on in me right now.  I am so happy to be home, but yet my heart is broken because I could not do more.

God Bless Your Day!

DR Congo, Africa Mission Trip June 19 - July 4 - Update June 18th

Well, I am heading off tomorrow for Africa.  Please be praying for me, and our Mission Team, excpecially during my fights.  My back does not do too well when I travel and am on long flights.  Here is my flight schedule:

Leave Austin 6:19am to Chicago 9:00am (06-19)
Leave Chicago 3:46pm (06-19) to London  5:55am (06-20)
Leave London 8:00pm (06-20) to Nairobi 6:30am (06-21)
Leave Nairobi 8:05am to Lubumbashi 12:20pm (06-21)
Leave Lumbumbashi ??? to Mulungwishi ???  all I can tell you is this will be around 120 mile drive on a dirt road.  (I might be off on this, it might be around 84 miles)  I get car sick if I’m not in front or driving…so hopefully this goes well.

I don’t know how often I will be able to post while I am gone, but I will try.  God Bless!

The Bible

I finished reading my Bible today.  The whole thing!!!!  I have so many mixed emotions about everything that I have read.  I feel forgiven, blessed, confused, happy, sad….all these emotions.  What I feel the most after reading my Bible is that there is more, a lot more, that I have to do.  I don’t feel like I am doing enough.  I feel like God want me to do more….I just don’t know what though.  There are many lives that need to come to Jesus, and I know I, we, have a huge part in that.

Even though I have finished reading the Bible, now it is time to start studying the Bible.  I want to know more.  I want to understand everything, or at least try to.

God Bless Your Day, cause I know He has Blessed mine!!!

Magic Jack - Does it work? - update

Does it work….YES!  However, this is what I have found out:

On a Windows computer you get all the features; caller id, call waiting, better “control panel” software on your computer.

On a Mac computer you do not get all the features.  However, you do still get outstanding phone service.

Cons:
Computer has to be running 24/7 for phone service
All features don’t work if you are using it on a Mac

Pros:
1st year is $50 a year, each year after that is $20…common….that is cheap!!!!
Quality of service has been better than expected.
Customer service department has answered and helped me and the experience was great.
I get to cancel my $30 a month phone bill!!!

Conclusion, I think this product is great.  So much that I ordered a second one, that will be going to Africa with me.  I have already recommended this to my friends and family.  With the way the economy is going right now, every penny counts!
