Hello everybody,

Believe it or not, we are on our way to Africa! The battle has been intense; the resistance over whelming at times, but the release and beginning of the journey has been amazing!

The kids are so full of excitement and life… Tyler has been as giddy as a 5 year old, Michael keeps talking about the kids he remembers from his trip last August and just can hardly contain himself with the thought of playing soccer with them again. I have to say, to see the joy and refreshing on the family and to have the heaviness, frustration and some times confusion of waiting, lift off, well, it's priceless.

The support from all of you as been humbling and we are so thankful for the prayers, fasting, all the sacrifice that each of you have put in to see this family's dream become reality.

So, contact will be sporadic as we are making our way over and setting up the house etc, we will communicate the best we can over the next couple months. Please come along on this journey with us and pray really hard about coming over very soon… we have a number of families and hundreds of young people joining us for the summer, and with the vacation homes that Bulembu is doing and our connections with the locals, not to mention it being our home now, we can take very good care of you!

Lisa and I, and each one of the kids are overjoyed and very aware of this call. The initiation of warfare here has really helped us to understand that we must be sharp spiritually and fully dependent on the whisper of God.

We really do need your prayers and we really need you to prophecy every day over the dead bones of Africa to come alive! If you can come along side of us financially, please click here and do so, if not, no worries, this is God's battle and He has proven that over and over, and we are just getting to the promise land! We love you and can't wait to be back in touch, the journey is what it is all about, keep living your dreams.

Gary, Lisa-Marie, Tyler, Alexis, Emily, Michael, Caleb and Noah
