Our Fall 2014 “Africa Expeditions” team has officially arrived at the airport in South Africa!  Their leaders called about 30 minutes ago and their travel from Atlanta was uneventful and smooth.  The team will spend the coming days getting introduced to their ministry, coming to know the culture, and finding a routine for the months ahead.   They will be getting internet within the week so that they can communicate home and share more about what their days and weeks will look like.  Until then, we wanted to let you know that all is well.  Hope that you’re...

The Africa Expeditions’ team leaders just called and they have all arrived in Zambia.  It’s been a long couple of days of travel as they have gone from the United States to France to Kenya and finally Zambia.   The team will spend the coming days getting introduced to their ministry, coming to know the culture, and finding a routine for the weeks ahead.  Until that is, they get ready to travel on to country number two!  They will be finding internet in the next couple of days so that they can communicate home and share more about what their days and weeks will...

I got a call from one of the “Africa Expeditions” leaders, Carmella, and the team has arrived in their second country–Swaziland.  As someone who lived in Africa for almost two full years, my month stay in Swaziland still ranks as my favorite.   Swaziland is a beautiful country filled with incredible people.  This small plot of land resides within the boards of South Africa, yet maintains a unique culture.  Officially known as “The Kingdom of Swaziland,” it is the last remaining African country with an absolute monarchy.  The numerous homes...

Our Africa Expeditions team has arrived in Mozambique!  They are deep in the Africa outback and quite a distance from an Interent connection, so they are working on getting an Internet "stick" that will allow them to connect on the leaders computers.  However, things take a little bit longer in Africa than we are used to in the States.  Until then, the team wanted to let you know that they are doing well and fully engaging in the culture around them.  We'll keep you posted until they are able to communicate with you personally.   Thanks, Passport...

Hello Family and Friends of the Expedition Ladies! I want to give you all a quick update. The team made it to their ministry site in Malawi yesterday. It took a little longer for them to get there, due to extra buses, and it being Africa. They will be posting blogs shortly–once they settle in to their new ministry site/living space/schedule. But I just wanted to let you know that they are doing great. I got to see them last week, and this is an incredible team of women!! Thanks for supporting them so well! -Field Support Staff-
