\"\"<\/a> in 90 days i head out to South Africa for a short-term mission trip. hopefully, for real this time. as a lot of you know, last march i was supposed to go but i fell ill<\/a> and was unable to.<\/p>\n

fortunately, i am able to carry over about $1900 (after some cancellation fees) to a new trip in September. from September 10-21 i will be in the Transkei region of South Africa and the closer this trip gets, the clearer the reason why i couldn’t go last time has become.<\/p>\n

in fact, i got an email just yesterday asking me if i would take on some leadership in the team’s HIV\/AIDS trainings and in the execution of it in South Africa. you see, our team will be trained on HIV\/AIDS safety, prevention and awareness and taking what we learn to township schools in South Africa. providing the kids and students there with knowledge about HIV\/AIDS, debunking myths and showing them how to protect themselves from this wide-spread disease (not only that, but presenting the gospel to a region and a people who have likely never heard it before).<\/p>\n

i did this very thing in March 2007<\/a> in a different region of South Africa, but turns out that no one else on this team ever has… including the man leading the team. Wow! i am so excited about being used in this way. i had been praying about how i could be a greater “asset” to THIS team. looks like i can be and i am truly humbled.<\/p>\n

unfortunately, due to the “cost of jet fuel” and those pesky cancellations fees from last march, i am close to $1000 short of the total needed for the trip. as just the cost of the flight itself has jumped significantly.<\/p>\n

if you would like to help me come up with the remaining $$$ by donating toward my mission efforts, YOU CAN!<\/strong><\/p>\n
