Getting Ready for: Operation Bless the Congo!!



The time has finally come...!!!!  We fly tomorrow morning at 8 AM to Washington D.C.  Much prayer, planning, and preparation has gone into this trip and we are excited to see what the Lord will do during this time!  It is our great desire to be a tremendous blessing to Pastor Didier, Annie, their children and the 20 orphans in the Congo as well as to the people of the church there.  A great many thanks to all of you who have helped with your time, finances, and prayer!

Didier says that shoes are very expensive in Congo so we are excited to send a few!


Sweet Sisters and sweet kidlets helping with the packing : )  What a HUGE blessing that was!  
Thank you!

One of the suitcases filled with blessings: toys, medicine, food, and a head lamp, amidst other items plus fun glow sticks for the orphans! : )

We fly to Washington DC and will spend the day there Saturday.  Off to Ethiopia Sunday morning then we arrive in Lubumbashi, DRC, Monday about noon!  

We will post more as time allows so we can keep you up to date!  Thank you in advance for your continued encouragement and prayer support!  We are exceedingly grateful for you dear friends and family! : )  God is so very good to us through you!
