Today the long journey to Africa beings. I want to thank all of your for your support and prayers from this past semester. I am very happy to share that I was able to raise all my funds this year for the trip. God provides, and I was blessed richly. Thank you!
Today a group of us are meeting in the Reynolds parking lot at 12:00 to leave for Little Rock, where at 3:55 pm we will depart for Atlanta and arrive at 6:29 pm. There in Atlanta we will meet up with the rest of our group and then depart from Atlanta at 8:05pm and arrive in Johannesburg, South Africa on Wednesday at 5:25 pm. This flight is 15 hours and 20 mins long, and I believe it is the longest flight I have ever been on! Last year we flew from Washington, DC to Ethiopia, making it only a 12 hour flight. Be praying that all goes well as we fly
Similar to last year I will be posting on this blog daily while I am in Africa. I hope that this blog can be a blessing to you as it is to me. I would love for you to comment on the blog with any questions or comments that you might have, or you can always email me. I will also be trying to post update links on Facebook, but sometimes Facebook does not behave correctly in Africa/ the internet goes out/ the power goes out. : )
Thank you for all your love and support!
Ben
praying for you, Benjamin!!
