FIJI 2009


I can't believe it. This time tomorrow we'll be over the Pacific Ocean flying in a Jumbo Jet till morning light. We'll be heading SouthEast on a course that will take us 4 hours past Hawaii onto a tiny set of Islands that make up Fiji.

Rob Dolson, Rob Day, Courtney Jones, Mark Mann, Nancy brown, Dana Johnson, Anna Blevins, and Erick Paternina and, of course, me are flying out of Sky Harbor at 6:55 pm. Then onto LAX, and from there, at around 11pm, we'll fly 11 hours until we reach the Nandi airport just after 5am. From there, we will pass through customs, grab our luggage, and head to another small terminal where we grab a twin engine flight lasting 25 minutes bringing us to the other side of the island into just outside of Suva City.

Once there, we'll be greeted here by Nada and a few other leaders from Home of Hope who'll get us loaded up and on our way to the mission which is about a 40 minute drive from the airport.

What an adventure! Please Pray for us! Pray that God would have full access in our hearts. Pray for increased faith for each of us. And, of course, pray for our mission to the girls!

Anna, has put a schedule together for each of us to blog. Check in on us daily for updates. Each day someone new will be writing about their experiences. Please leave comments and questions if you have them. You can also check out what's happening at TeamFiji.org.

Love you guys! FOR HIM!
