Africa!

Well it is finally here, the day I leave for Africa. After a 14 hour drive back from Mississippi, I unpacked, only to repack for Africa. I have been up all night and still have a few more things to fit into my bags. Despite my lack of sleep and time crunch (not really I have two more hours before I leave for the airport) I wanted to post something before I leave. 
Thank you to everyone who made this trip possible! Africa has been on my heart for several years and today it is finally a reality! Your thoughts, prays and finical support mean more to me than I could ever express. I will always be so grateful. I know God has big plans for this trip and I can't wait to see those plans unfold and be used for His glory. 
I will be gone the 27th-7th and would appreciate the continuance of pray for myself, my team, the orphanages and the kids that we will be meeting. Below I have listed each of my team members and the orphanages we will going to. Please keep us in your prayers!
