Back in the States


It's hard to believe that a week ago we were getting on a plane to return to the States.  On our way home we stopped at Etosha National Park to enjoy many of God's creations.






Traveling back home was much quicker and easier however, the team was sad to say goodbye to Sheila Fabiano and the Hall family but thankfully we had one final dinner in Namibia together.

We are thankful for everyone's support and prayers throughout our trip.  It is truly amazing to see how God was at work throughout our entire trip.  Please continue to pray for all the missionaries serving in Angola that God will continue to use them to further his Kingdom. 

In Christ,

VBS

The whole team had such a great time working with the children at the Spiritual Life Conference.  It was so much fun to spend time with all the children as well as spend time with all the missionaries, including many of the Foster family and Hall family, serving in Angola.  Yesterday we said goodbye to all the Fosters at Tchincombe and headed into Namibia for the last part of our trip to enjoy God's creation in Etosha National Park.

Lubango

Bom dia (Good day) from the Angola Team! We have spent our first two days in Lubango. It has been great to meet some of the missionaries who will be attending the Spiritual Life Conference (SLC) and see how God is using them to further His Kingdom. Today we head out to Tchincombe where the SLC will be taking place and where our team will be doing our VBS program. Please pray for continued safety and guidance on this new adventure.
