Looking Forward to Friday

It's not that I don't think Tuesday through Thursday hold lots of possibilities, but on Friday I get to speak at a luncheon for about 80-100 ladies interested in missions.  Besides that, they want to see all the wares from our African Market.  Maybe if they "buy" they can bless someone with a gift while providing funds to go to Africa, or they can decorate their home with decorative pieces that make them think about and pray for some they'll learn about Friday.

I love to tell the stories of my friends in Africa, and after spending almost 3 months in Africa last year (Liberia, Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda), I have some pretty current ones to share.   Not only that, but Joyce from Malawi came to see us!  We have truly been blessed.

When in Uganda, we got to visit Amazima in Jinja.  Amazima was founded by Katie Davis, a 22 year old young lady who went to Uganda when she was 18 and has as a result of that trip spent the last 4 years of her life in most unusual ways from that of her peers.  She's even written a book Kisses from Katie.  We didn't get to meet Katie;  she was homeschooling 12 of the 13 young girls that she is in the process of adopting.  We did get to meet Jeremy, their Project Director.

 AND TODAY, I got to see a letter of intent sent by the church for Peter.  Peter was recommended to EAFC by Jeremy.  Jeremy said Peter had worked with Amazima for years and he can't recommend him enough.  Is that enough said?

Hummm!  Maybe I've just included another story in my collection for Friday.  See why I'm looking forward to Friday?
Will any of you reading this pray for that event?


thanks a bunch!
