Boarding the van to go to the airport

A group of six of us from Community Heights Alliance Church have the exciting opportunity of going to Mali, West Africa this fall (September 3-14) to minister to our Christian & Missionary Alliance missionaries serving in that region of the world. Pastor Cory was asked by our Alliance Mission field in Africa to come speak at the weeklong “African Field Forum Conference” and to bring a team with him to provide nursery, childcare, teen ministry and worship. Our primary purpose is to encourage the missionaries serving in Africa. We want to be a source of blessing for these missionaries, who are faithfully serving the Lord. Please pray for us as it’s a huge time commitment to plan and prepare for such a trip.

Arrival in Mali

We boarded the plane in Des Moines, IA at 11:30A on Wednesday morning and arrived here in Mali at 11:00P (Iowa time) on Thursday evening after 4 plane rides. We are all doing well… a bit tired from the journey… it’s 4:00A Mali time. We are at the guest house in Bamako with Tim and Bev Wright who picked us up from the airport. Praise the Lord for a safe trip and that all of our bags made it also. Thanks for your prayers.
