Our plan is to stay the first three days in Iringa, visiting an orphanage, a secondary school, Tumaini university and the Diocese office. After that we will split up and visit our sister congregations. Clay, Ruth, Judy, and Denny will visit Pommern. Dean and Tracy will visit Ihimbo. We will worship at the village churches and we will also travel to many "preaching points" surrounding each village. Our goal is to let the people we meet know that they are loved and supported by people halfway around the world, and that we stand with them bega kwa bega, different in many ways but indistinguishable in God's grace and love.

Arrived in Amsterdam

Dean sent the following update after arriving at the Amsterdam airport. He should arrive at Kilimanjaro around noon Central time today.


Hello!

I arrived safely at the Amsterdam airport. It is about 7:10 a.m. local time. My flight to Kilimanjaro departs at 11:00 so I have plenty of time to kill.

The flight here was frequently turbulent, so I only slept for about an hour. Hopefully the flight to Kilimanjaro will be better. The airplane food was decent. I sat next to a woman from Woodbury going to do missions work in Kenya.

I brought everything from church to me house so I am ready for taking it to Gestheme on Tuesday. I maybe bringing a suitcase of medical supplies.

    Our thoughts and prayers are with you on your journey, bro! I know you'll be taking some great pictures of the trip. May God bless you and keep you safe. We'll be thinking about you on the Fourth of July in Wanamingo, MN. Tractors galore, and watch out for those balloons filled with sulfuric acid and the flying rock candy and petrified tootsie rolls and bubble gum! Todd
