A 17-Hour Flight Looms

Africa is a long way away. It's like tomorrow away. (I heard there are two flight crews on one plane...) If we had those signs in the skies, like in The Jetsons, it could read "Welcome to Savannah! Next Town: Cape Town, South Africa." Seventeen hours in the sky is a long ride. We're all praying for good movies! Anyway, despite any fears and uneasiness about the long, 17-hour flight across the ocean, our team of 8 is quite ready for what God has laid before us. After leaving Monday night's meeting, there's a real sense of purpose and mission within the hearts of our team, as well as in the hearts of those family members staying behind. Months ago we all decided to lean into this project and raise the funds to spend nearly 2 weeks partnering with missionaries Pete & Fran Laughren as they work to push the story of God forward in a different culture, serving the peoples of George, South Africa. So, we're ready. And in less than 12 hours, we'll be in the skies, crossing the world, to carry the hope of God to His people.

There's traffic in the sky...
