All,
As the group prepares for our mission in Togo, West Africa we would ask that you keep all participants and their families in your prayers at this time. Those that will be making the journey are Jonathan Hewitt, Dudley Raymond, Charles Ray Huddleston, Randy Calvert, and myself. (Randy and I are the rookies of the bunch).

I was warned from someone that has been on this mission trip before that as we get closer to departing our lives will experience troubles and external issues sent on by Satan to discourage us from going. Things are already starting to occur out of the norm. Glad I was forwarned to expect it.

I also ask that you please pray for our families as we are away....I think I am more concerned for them than I am for us. If you could make time during your day please say a special prayer for our families and give them a call to check up on them to make sure everything is going ok. Be sure to check back starting on the evening of December 11 as I will try to enter my first posting (assuming I can get Web connection....which is not guaranteed).

If there are no postings by Monday the 15th then you'll have to check back on 12/24 to read a daily account of all happenings in Togo as I plan to keep an up to date journal.Thanks to you all for the support for our trip....your financial support and well wishes have been an overwhelming answer to prayers.
