...all of your prayers over the next few weeks. My DH and I are going to Swaziland, Africa with a team in a few days to minister at an orphanage and the surrounding community. Swaziland is a very small African country and has one of the highest rates of AIDS in the world and also a very high number of orphans (50% of all children).

While I am very excited to go and KNOW that God has called us to do this, it is also WAY out of my comfort zone and a little bit scary. Our kids will be staying here with family for the 11 days we are gone. Please pray for our safety, good health for us and our kids, for DD to be "okay" w/o me around, and most of all that we would accomplish God's purposes while we are there and share the love of Jesus with each and every person we come into contact with! Thanks so much for your prayers!

Jessica praying for your safety while you are there and for God to prepare the hearts of the people that He puts in your path to hear and receive the Gospel. Praying for your children while you are gone. And praying that this experience will bless your family ten fold!

Have a wonderful trip and please let us know all about it when you return! God bless you!

Wow - what an amazing mission. Prayers for you and your family during this time.

Thank you so very much for your support and prayers! We leave tomorrow...

Oh good thanks for letting us know when you leave so we can be praying for you! Let us know about your trip when you get back. I know that you are going to go as one person and come back as another. That kind of stuff changes how you see things. It's hard to ignore once you have seen.

I am looking forward to hearing how God blesses you on this trip!

Jessica,

I'm praying for you and your family while you're on this trip! Since you're already left, I'm sure you won't see this until you're back...you'll have to share just a little with us. It sounds like an amazing oportunity that God has given you to minister around the world!
