I would love to be able to update this blog and keep a timeline of all of our events and visits, but I don't know how realistic that truly is.
On a previous mission trip to Argentina, we had high speed internet access for nearly the entire two weeks. I blogged the whole experience. However, I doubt that we will have internet access while in the Central African Republic.
I should clarify - the place that we will be staying "might" have internet access, as long as we have electricity. Forget about high-speed. So, updates from Gary while in Africa may number from zero to none. We'll see. I'll do my best.
For now, I'd like to share a few prayer requests for the trip in general.. and a few in specific.
-- PRAY that God would allow each of us to have open hearts, minds, and conversations about what HE wants us to see, to hear, to know, and to do. Any other prayer requests such as for health, travel safety, logistics... would be underneath the greater HIGHER priority that God would have His way on this trip.
-- PRAY that God would help us hear the hearts, thoughts, words, and feelings of our African brothers and sisters in Christ. We are going to meet leaders in churches, schools, ministries, and government. Should be some tremendous time meeting and getting to know leaders in the CAR.
-- PRAY for us as a team of pastors and leaders, that God would give ideas, clarity, direction, connection, and conversation about current and future partnerships as churches in America come together to support churches in the Central African Republic.
-- PRAY for the timing of our flights... to Atlanta... and then to Paris... and then to Bangui... I hear that there's only one flight per WEEK in and out of Bangui. So... don't be late to that flight in France! Pray for traveling timing and protection for our team at each stop along the way.
More prayer requests... and thoughts on travel... coming up in the next few days! Thanks for reading!
