Lauren off to Africa

Today is the day. Lauren leaves for the airport in 1 hour. She will be leaving from LAX



Arriving 5 hours later in Atlanta




Going 18 hours to Africa

5 hours more to Johannesburg South Africa




Then 3 more hours to Malawi by plane







We have a wonderful tradition in our church. When a group is leaving for a missions trip they appear at each church service and are commissioned by the church for their trip. The church prays for them and spritually "sends them off". Yesterday during the commissioning one of tha pastors was telling what they would be doing and told the congregation of their itinerary. He said "I guess mostly we should pray that they still like each other by the time they get there." They are leaving today, Monday morning and will arrive in Malawi Tuesday evening; a full 2 days travel time. They will be gone for 3 weeks and be in rural communities for 6 days at a time and here the biggest challenge will be the traveling!

Please do keep in prayer the entire group of people that are with Lauren. They will be doing much in the name of the Lord.
