We're Getting Closer...

We just received our travel itineraries in the mail: our official travel dates are March 29-April 6. We travel from KC to Washington DC...then wait about 7 hours until we board the plane to Rome (where we'll re-fuel but not get off the plane)-and on to Addis. The whopping grand total flight time: about 18-20 hours. Anyone recommend some good books??

Our bags are getting full! And the donations have made me speechless. Thanks to all--the support has been amazing. A special thanks to the staff at St. Joseph Christian--I can feel the prayers and the donations have made my heart sing.

Keep praying! Those kiddos need every bit of them!

J & J, Your stories are amazing ans so heart-wrenching. It's so hard to imagine all you've described. Of course I'll pray for you and all the children you are with. I picture Jesus showing up for all those children in you and the team of volunteers. Every smile you give and every hand you hold is Jesus doing the same for them. Bless you both. Love, Janeen
