Zambia


It's time again for our trip to Africa. Since I have returned from my awesome little trip to Texas it has been non stop (literally) getting ready for the big trip. We leave Thursday morning from Copenhagen to start our long travel down to Zambia.

I am really excited about returning to the place that brought so many good memories from last year. We have such a heart for the people of Africa and are excited to be returning for the 3rd time. This year, Martin and I are traveling with an awesome
group of 11 students, 6 girls and 5 boys. We will be spending time helping a lot of different ministry organizations, including the same that we joined last year. This year, however, we are also helping run a campaign in Ndola which we are expecting great results from. We will be involved in a four day campaign bringing the people of Ndola and surrounding areas together in unity. We will be crying out for people to be saved and healed and helping support the local church in Ndola.

We will also be taking a trip deep into the bush to a village called Ngabwe where we will minister to those in need of medical care and supplies. We will assist the nurses and put on a program for the children. This will be an impactful experience for the stud
ents (and us) to see what it is like to live in the bush in Africa. This year we will also be working close with an orphanage called Jabulani, in which we are hoping to develop relationships with the children at this orphanage and share the love of God with them
.

We hope that you will please pray for us as we take this 5 week journey. Pray for wisdom, guidance, protection, joy, unity and most of all for the name of Jesus to be made great in everything we do. Thank you for your support and prayers! We love you!

Christmas in Texas


This year Martin and I were able to go to Texas again for Christmas! It was such an awesome, relaxing time together with our family and friends. God provided a way home for us when it seemed like we would be stuck in the airport for a few more days, so we only arrived about 2 days late.

Highlights of the trip include: Coming home to mom and dad's new house. Relaxing in front of the fire. Seeing all our people. Eating out...a lot. David's 3rd birthday party. And sleeping in...
