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!
