Day One on The Cape Town Trip

Greetings from almost Cape Town! Yesterday or maybe it was just today we left from JFK. 10 what many would call strangers, all bound by the simple fact that we have dedicated ourselves to ministry for the Lord, have been brought together to travel to the Lausanne Congress in Cape Town, South Africa. Two Team meetings and a 14 hour plane ride later, and it is safe to say that... we are no longer strangers bound by our faith but are quickly becoming friends and a some what dysfunctional family.

Our goal to honor the Lord and see what is happening in the Kingdom world wide, our purpose to serve, observe, witness and participate. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Some of us have left behind spouses, children, family, we all have left behind people who are faithfully committed to praying for not only us individually, but as a team, and for the Congress on the whole.

Will you join them in that? Speaking of prayer requests ...will you be praying for the people in China, over 200 delegates ready to leave for this event have been banned from traveling. Not only would their participation be a disappointment for them but, the rest of the world would be missing out on hearing from people representing one of the fastest growing Church bodies in the world. Pray that they would be allowed to join us.


Well I have friends waiting to check e-mail... it is good to share..at least that is what they taught me in Kindergarten and we learned all we needed to know there. (at least that is what they say)

Pray for us. Stay tuned more updates to come.

  1. I will be praying for you and for the people of China. It would be such a loss to not hear what they have to say. Are there political or business people in the US petitioning China to let them go?

  2. Father God we pray for open doors in China and that the 200 delegates be able to walk through that open door into the conference in Cape Town. Psalm 24:9 Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
