African Children's Choir

The African Children's Choir will be in Decatur on Friday, April 4, 2008 at 7:30 p.m. They will be performing in the Kirkland auditorium at Milllikin University. To get tickets click this link:
www.millikin.edu/kirkland or call the box office at 217-424-6318.

If you have never seen them before I encourage you to go if you can. It will truly bless your heart. If you can't go and watch them check out their website. The story of how the choir began and how it has grown over the years is incredible.

Tim and I have offered to host a few of the kids at our house for a few nights next week. If you know me at all you know this is quite a precious gift from God!!!

It's been awhle....

So it has been awhile since we wrote on here and we just wanted to update anyone who reads this what is going on with us.
We got all the shots we need to go to Africa. That was a pretty simple task. I was a little concerned because last year I had to get 7 shots (which is never a fun time). After the shots, I was really sick for several days and ended up with an infection in my arm. So it is safe to say I am not really a fan of having a needle shoved in my arm. Fortunately, this round of immunizations went well.

We are definately overwhelmed right now. God has been using so many people to provide for us to go to Kenya this summer. The support we have recieved to date has been tremendous. We have over half of what we need for the whole summer.
We are getting closer to reaching our goal of $11, 000. There is still a lot of money to raise but we are seeing God work in such a great way. To say God is good is such an understatment. When we go to thank him for all He is doing it is such a struggle to find the words to say. We are so thankful to all of you for your prayers.

Please continue to pray for us-your prayers are certainly being answered.
