South Africa Mission Trip

Some of you may have already heard that I am taking my volleyball team to South Africa in August for a mission trip. We will be going for almost two weeks to run volleyball clinics for youth and adults in schools, communities, prisons and other organizations. We also will be competing against university teams and doing outreach ministry after our matches. Sports is a huge magnet for people in South Africa and we were told to try to schedule as many competitions as possible, as many people will come up to us afterwards to talk.

We are very excited about this opportunity and already have seen the Lord work out details in our trip planning. I hope that you will join with us in prayer as we are preparing for the trip: the itinerary details, the ministry, the witness to people here and in South Africa, and for finances. Some have told us we are crazy to pursue a trip of this size and duration due to cost and details. Yet, we have held on to our conviction that this is where we are supposed to go, a quote that President Habecker loves so much, and a verse in Ephesians as we prepare for this trip:

"God is looking for people through whom He can do the impossible - what a pity that we plan only the things we can do ourselves." A.W. Tozer

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." Ephesians 3:20 - 21

Thank you for praying with us!
