Well, Jeff and I will be boarding our plane to Mamelodi, South Africa in less than 2 weeks! We fly out on November 20! Amazing!
We will both be working on the kids' team which is so exciting to us! We will be traveling out into the township to different sattelite churches of their main campus, Charity and Faith. Two of those churches are tent churches! We will be with the 3-5 year olds in the mornings (who don't speak any English! We all speak the language of God's love though!) and with the older, schoolaged children in the afternoons. On our last day, all of the children will be transported to the main campus where we will have a huge celebration together.
It will be an amazing, joyful, and heartbreaking experience. We have no idea how God will use us in the lives of these children but we know that He will and will do so mightily.
We ask you to please pray for all aspects of the trip for the entire teams that are going, over 400 people and literally tons of supplies! We ask you to pray for their safety and their health and that they would experience God in a way like never before. We also ask you to please pray for each person that we will be encountering in Mamelodi, that God will do miraculous and healing work in each one of their lives. We ask you to pray that we will all be a blessing to the people there.
We ask that you please pray for Jeff and I personally as well. We both have health issues that have been flaring up lately, yet we are confident that our God who has called us will deliver us. We have no doubt in this. We ask you to pray that we will be strong and painfree. We ask you to pray for our safety. We ask you to pray that God will use our hands and feet as His very own to be a blessing. We ask you to pray that our eyes will be open to see Him in all we do. We ask you to pray that our hearts will be open to receive all that He has for us and that they will be filled with His love and compassion for the people of Mamelodi.
Thank you so much for your faithful prayers. I'm looking forward to sharing with you pictures and stories when we return.

Well, I'd pray for you and jeff, but I checked in with all the known gods, from A thru Z and they are all at Jerry Falwell's BBQ in hell, hosted by Molech and Budwieser, and can't be bothered right now. Jerry is the main course. Heheheheh.
So, looks like your & Jeff's safety and health are in the hands of the airlines' maintentaince and flight crew; the experience of your group's leadership; the innoculation's provided by your trained doctor; the goodwill of the folks you will be meeting in Africa; and your own common sense. If all else fails, you can rely on the living material presence of the US Embassy.
Odd's are you'll be back safe and sound, as evidenced by the millions of visitors to S. Africa who return safely to their own countries. With or without their respective gods' protection.
OK...so much for my atheist's common sense rant. Here's wishing you and Jeff a safe and terrificly productive trip.
Have fun, do good, then get yer arses back here.
Love,
Hump
