Africa Trip: Are we there yet?

The anticipation has been building. A steady stream of contacts with Doug in Burundi has helped to make the vision clearer. Today arrived with a Winter Storm Warning- making the departure more challenging. As we write this we are sitting in the Departure area at the Toronto Airport- after having the flight delayed 3 times they are now bringing in a new aircraft. Is this a good thing?

We will be arriving in London as some of your alarm clocks are awakening you to a new day (which might even be a snow day- for students and teachers). We will wait in London for some 12 hours and then depart for Addis Ababa. This will be our second night in the air. Sleep will be hard to find.

Once we arrive in Kigali we will wait for Doug to pick us up. (He has warned us that he might be "some late"- which could mean a number of things in Africa. On the last trip we saw a bumper sticker that said "In Africa we don't hurry- we're already late.") We will then get our first nights sleep in a bed since we left on Monday. We will head to the IDP camp for the first of the meetings early Friday morning.

Pray for us- for discernment, for protection, for clarity and creativity.

We will try to keep you posted as time and resources permit.
