We just want to say thinks for all your inspiration and blessings in the encouragement letters. We have been reading them and find each one a reminder of why we are going to the Congo. We will continue to open them everyday to not forget our purpose!
We are staying in a hotel by the airport again tonight because our 11:30 p.m. overnight flight to Bangui was delayed until 8 a.m. tomorrow morning. It has been a blessing in disguise because we will get one last night of sleep in a hotel rather than in an airplane before we get to Africa.
It’s a beautiful city with so much to see but we cant wait for the Congo!
Thank you for your continued support and prayers!
Below are a few photos from the first few days.

Dear Pastor Dave, Nate, and Mike,
My kids and I took a look at the pictures you have published. They each thought the Eiffel Tower was really cool! (My personal favorite was Pastor Dave with the little boy) I hope this finds you all healthy, happy, and blessed on your adventurous mission. I have been praying and thinking about you every day you have been gone. I am looking forward to new updates over the coming days. I pray for your health, safety, and for God to grant you favor as you all serve Him and His children.

Love the pictures! The Eiffel Tower looks amazing! I’m sure you’ll have lots more to share when you’re back home. Praying for your safe time there and return back home.
