Heartfelt Thanks

In almost exactly 15 days (down to the hour), I will be starting my trip to Malawi, Africa for 3 months. Though the voyage itself doesn't start for two more weeks, the journey has certainly already begun. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all those who are already part of this journey, through prayer, donations, time, effort, and encouragement. Thanks to the Lord's provision through many of you, I have the funds to complete this mission-practicum. And thanks to the Lord's provision, I have the strength to obey this call.

For me, this blog has a triple purpose. For one, it is a way for me to record and flush out the experiences that are to come. Second, it is a way to provide window into life here in Malawi, for the many people who live here. Most importantly, however, I hope that this blog will be an encouragement to you - to pray, to give thanks, to cherish the ones around you, and to be motivated in the unique, mission that God has given just to you...for each and every one of us, as Pastor Jamie at Redeemer Alliance reminded us today, has one.
