The first departures from Dalraida’s Fall Mission’s event starts TODAY! I along with Gif (Andrew Gifford) and Simba (Adam Gifford) are departing Montgomery, AL for Atlanta then Amsterdam then Kilimanjaro then Dar Es Salaam! We three from Dalraida will meet Colin & Ellen McKee in Atlanta and then join Howell & Mary Ferguson, Bill & Cindi Stinson and Gage & Kelly Coldwater in Amsterdam and all-together well enter east Africa. For Dalraida this will be the SECOND incursion into east Africa this year as Jim & Vicki Murphey were in Madagascar in the spring.
Thanks to Charita and World of Connections (https://worldofconnections.org/african-projects) we shipped a container into Chimala in July from Topeka, KS and it is to arrive while we are there. The New York Avenue Church of Christ in Arlington, TX (Bill Stinson) paid the shipping expenses. It will be good to see its arrival and unloading!
After the required time in Chimala is spent then we three (me, Gif & Simba) will go to Ukraine, Colin & Ellen to Indonesia and the others will remain in Chimala. The large Dalraida group (16 others) will join us in Ukraine on 06 October!
As internet services permit we will be sending back reports that you can read on this blog.
I want to express a special “Thank you” to all who have help fund this trip and our continuing efforts. You can look online for a list of those who contribute to our mission efforts.
Continue to pray for us as we continue in this mission.
