So long…Farewell

Family with vuvuzelacopy2

Our family is on the plane now. Bags are packed and hearts our full. As we leave our American family and friends, we feel encouraged and recharged. The Lord has done great things and we rejoice in his power and goodness. Please be praying for a safe journey. We will depart at 8:40pm, have a brief layover in London and arrive early Wednesday morning in Cape Town, South Africa.

Yours in Christ,
Leon, Melanie, Leon Mack, Noel and Nala
