Eight team members gather at LAX at 7:00am tomorrow morning with over 1500 pounds of crafts, small toys, hygiene kits, soccer balls and hundreds of Evange-cubes (the Gospel in picture form laid out like a rubic cube). We thank everyone for their prayers - that we show up in Nigeria anticipating the divine appointments we will have with the widows and orphans. . . pray we serve and minister with a humble and cheerful spirit - that lives will be changed for eternity.
Oh yeah. . . the boys are building a water well for the orphan. Pray the clean drinking water right near the orphanage will be a first step to bringing a more healthy life for these dear children. What an impact this will have on that community.
We fly from LAX to Houston to Frankfurt to Abuja. . .about 22 total flight hours. Then, a three hour drive through armed checkpoints on a winding mountain road to Jos (elevation 4000 feet) We anticipate arriving to the mission home late Friday night. Hope to get you caught up on Saturday.
The Lord be with us all.

Hi - this is Grace H. I am truly inspired by the work you are doing. I am learning that I need to give more than receive. Kyle, you are right -- we are so fortunate. Yesterday my mom went out and bought us new shoes and shirts which made me count my blessings. I will pray for your group. Stay safe and make a difference. Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday Jesus.
