Friends, great news! I have a date to be in Springfield Missouri to start my appointment. It’s August 20, 2010! I’ll be in Springfield for a few weeks to get settled in and prepare for the fall line up of trips. In early September the Global AIDS Partnership (GAP) team will head to Zambia to work with a Christian group that (among other things) makes home visits to those affected by AIDS. While still in Africa, a couple members of the team will swing over to Batswana for some training with an established AIDS outreach there. I’m extremely excited about this trip because not only will it be my first trip as a member of the Global AIDS Partnership team, but it will be my first time in Africa.
After that, I’ll be back in Springfield for a very short time before the team leaves for a joint mission with Sustain Hope (the Assemblies of God’s development team) in Papa New Guinea. The entire team is looking forward to this mission because it is the first time GAP has been part of a project in Papa New Guinea. It also looks like it will be a large nation-wide response to AIDS.
While I am extremely excited about having a date on the schedule for when I’ll be starting with Global AIDS Partnership, that date also acts as a deadline for when I need to have my financial support raised. I need one thousand dollars more a month in pledges in the next six weeks. If you would planning to give or pledge money, host a missionary chat, or get involved some other way, now would be a great time to do that! Thus far God has been faithful and his people generous, and I am trusting God and the generosity of his people for the rest of the funds.
