Well Everyone,

This is the last blog entry that will come from an African computer (for a while anyway). Tomorrow I get on a plane at 830am and begin a 36 hour commute back home. I am totally ready to be back home. The trip has been a complete success. Just about everything that I hoped would happen while I was here, has. I will post another blog and fill in the details of what I mean by that after I get home. For now, please pray for safe travel (particularly no noisy kids kicking the back of my seat for 36 hours--in this case the prayers should be for their safety). Anyway, I can't wait to see you all and share with you what is coming next. Thanks again to all of you who participated in this through prayers, giving, and encouragement.

See you in a minute,
dave

Well gang,
I am nearing the end of my journey. I am looking forward to coming home, which will be on the 19th of this month. For the last week, I have been in Jeffreys Bay. Due to a few schedule changes, I had some free time in between coming back here and going to the Vineyard Conference (which starts next week). So, I took off and spent a week in Jeffreys Bay. To all of you non-surfing types, J Bay is home to one of the worlds best surf spots. Needless to say, I was in heaven. It is kind of cool when God just gives you opportunities like that. Tomorrow morning, I leave to head to the Vineyard Conference for all of the Vineyard churches in Africa. I am expecting it to be amazing. Something else that is cool is that it worked out for Dr Thinus to come to the conference with me as well. I am excited that he will get to see a little more of what the Vineyard is all about. After the conference ends, I will head back up to Centurion with Dr T (Centurion is near Johannesburg) and then fly to Lusaka and then fly home, via Lilongwe, Malawi; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Rome; Washington DC, then good old Jacksonville. Please pray for me this week as I will be talking with some of the Zambian pastors about working alongside their churches in the future. Thanks a bunch and I can't wait to see you all.

Love ya,

dave
