East Africa visitation 2010

Preparations are under way for our trip to East Africa. Beginning tomorrow five men will be making their way over to East Africa for our 2010 visitation. Pastor Todd Ohlmann and I will be leaving tomorrow after church. We will be meeting up in Chicago and flying together to Nairobi via Amsterdam. Russ Schmitt and my brother Stephen will be following us on Monday, flying out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Pastor Michael Gurath will be joining us on the 24th of August. A tentative itinerary of our trip can be found below. We ask for your prayers as we begin this service to our Savior. Pray for profitable and edifying discussions with all our fellow workers that our Lord's name may be glorified in all places. Pray for safe travel, good health for all those who will be traveling. Pray that the Lord would be with our families and congregations while we are gone and keep them safe. Pray that the Lord's kingdom would come!
