Stuff

We have a list of unique items to take. I spent a couple hours in Walmart yesterday making sure I got the right things, including candles, candleholder, insect repellent, bandana, universal sink stopper, clothesline, duct tape, trash bags, disposable cups, mosquito netting(still don't have), men's socks (for cooling water), toilet paper, towel and washcloth, kleenex, comfort foods (peanut butter!). And that's not all of the extras! All of this is in addition to clothing for three weeks! No fashion statements will be made! We'll be wearing the same things day in and day out. ;-)

Specific prayer requests will be arriving via email from Mefi. Preparations are well under way in Africa. Thank you for your prayers.

Tanzania 2007

The team leaves at the end of June and returns mid-July. Important travel days are June 30, July 3 and 21. Please pray for traveling mercies and protection.

In Tanzania we will visit our believing family and friends. Each team member will participate in three seminars titled Emotionally Free®. Rita Bennett, wife of Dennis Bennett is the author of the material we will present.

Huge numbers of people are expected to attend. Please pray for good health leading up to our departure, for good sleep and stamina once we're there, and for unexpected blessings on each seminar.

Source of the power

Your participation in Tanzania 2007 is critical to the success of the endeavour. Prayer knows no geographical boundaries. You will be as equally involved in the spiritual sphere as we will be in the physical. In fact, some battles we face you may actually fight for us. Be sensitive to what the Spirit is saying. If you receive a verse that you believe is meant for us, please send it. If you receive a word of knowledge or discernment, please send it. Use email to Mefi rather than comment on my blog posts.

Inaugural post

Welcome to my blogspot!

This week I got my Kenyan visa and have submitted my passport for my Tanzanian visa. I survived five immunizations (including live Yellow Fever virus!) and have my malaria medication. Now I turn my attention to the list of items that must be packed, including candles and a free-standing misquito netting, and to figuring out how to make everything fit!

Finances continue to come in! Praise God!

I have two more Sundays playing the piano at Salem Nazarene. At that time, formal services will end. The new Nazarene pastor will have arrived and preparations for the restart of the church will begin. From June 17 on I will be at St. Peter and St. Paul in Roanoke, where I will present the Tanzania trip at the 10 a.m. service on the 17th.

Please pray for the final planning to work for the seminars. Each of us will participate in three seminars. It looks like the first seminar I will be part of will minister to some 3600 people. The next seminar could have anywhere from 400 to 4000 people and will include Muslims.
