Greetings from the OA II team in Ndola. Today is Monday and we have just completed our first day back at the base. The morning began with wake-up at 7:00. We had Bible Study at 7:15 followed by breakfast at 8:00 and then we had morning devotions and then a little bit of sharing time of [...]

The Nepal team had another night in a hotel. The parents should have heard from their kids while they were in the LA Airport. They will be arriving tonight on United 272 at 5:45 PM.

Greetings from OA II. The team left Ndola on Thursday for a five-hour truck ride to Lusaka. We arrived early in town and were able to go to a shopping area. Shoprite is the prefered store—similar to a Walmart but African style. There were places to look for some sovernirs. Some choose to have some fast [...]

We got the US team safely to the capital and off to the Florida Debrief. It was a challenging ride. On Friday afternoon we had a heavy rain storm. There is only one way out of Bamenda to the rest of the country. A section of a bridge collapsed and there is a 20 ft gap [...]

It sure is lonely here today. As far as we know, the team got on its flight early this morning (our time) in Ekaterinburg. They will fly to Frankfurt and then have about an 8-hour layover before they board their flight from Frankfurt to Orlando.  We had a four hour bus ride to the airport. [...]

We just received a phone call from Tyler,  the head leader. The flight was diverted back to Bangkok where they will spend the night. They are on their way to a hotel (courtesy of the airlines) and will be on the same flight number tomorrow (8/10). They will call us when they know their flight [...]

Well, this is it from the Australia Base. The teams are all packed up and ready to bus to the airport Monday morning. Their Air NZ flight leaves about 12:30pm and we will be heading out from the base at about 6:45 am. They finished off cementing sidewalks around both the BMW buildings and cleaned [...]

Greetings from the Uganda Team! Monday, Aug. 3rd, began our last week in the village of Bunalwenyi. Team members were leveling the dirt inside the new classrooms to prepare for pouring the floors. Some were digging the footer for a privacy wall around the new, five-stall, latrine. Others were collecting all the good bricks in [...]

The Papua team is almost back on US soil. We are currently in Singapore airport awaiting our flight to Chigaco. Everyone is tired as it is the middle of the night, but it is kind of hard to sleep in a noisy airport. Thus far, travel has gone well. We are all glad to be [...]

From the missionary: We talked to the leader at 5 PM and they were safely in Livingstone. They had no trouble while traveling. There was a stretch of road construction that slowed them down toward the end of the ride. I am sure that they were very glad to get out of the truck and [...]
