A new adventure along our way

I had always planned to go to Africa and when I first became a Christian I was all ready to sign up and serve the Lord on a different continent. However He had different plans as I found out that I was expecting Chipman and I had to cancel. My desire to go to Africa has never gone away though and it is truly special that I get to share this experience with Chipman, God's plans do not always match our ideas but they certainly are for the best. Jeremiah 29 v 11 says so  "For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." I was devastated that I couldn't go when I wanted to, but now after 12 years of waiting I get to go on an amazing journey into the unknown with a very special young man. 

We are traveling with a charity called Mission Direct, and whilst we are in a town called Rukungiri we will be getting stuck into building site life. There is a mainstream primary school there already but nothing for disabled children, that is until Mission Direct started building an extension. Now the disabled children of Rukungiri have an amazing opportunity of their own to look forward too, an education. We will also be visiting other local projects and helping out, this is going to be the best 2 weeks ever!

I will be blogging more about our trip on a seperate blog and would love for you to come on over and visit it to find out more!

Would you be willing to support Chipman and I in prayer? This is a scary time for him as he steps out of his usual routine and into a different world, please pray he will adjust well and enjoy the new and exciting experiences. Please also pray for patience for me as I deal with Chipman's behaviour without the support of my husband. And lastly for my husband and daughter Beebie as they cope for 2 weeks at home without us.
