Atlanta

We made it to Atlanta after a delay on the runway in Greenville. Our
friends from Alice Drive are having some issues with tickets in
Columbia; but, they are enroute. Please keep praying for travel. We
depart at 2010 if all goes as planned. I'll post again when we are
onboard.

Flights

The team

The Team 2009!

We depart from GSP on Thursday, August 27th at 3pm. We will fly to Johannesburg, South Africa direct from Atlanta. The flight is about 15.5 hours. Please pray for comfort and safety on this journey. Pray for Old Naledi village, Naledi Baptist Fellowship and for Botswana. God is doing amazing things in Africa and it's the honor of a lifetime for us to be a small part of the BIG picture. Stay tuned to this blog for travel updates and hopefully periodic updates on the mission.

In His Steps,

10 Days until we are part of The Solution!

Solution

HillSong United

To stare not fight while broken nations dream
Open up our eyes, so blind
That we might find the mercy for the need

Hey now
Fill our hearts with your compassion
Hey now
As we hold to our confession

It is not too far a cry
Too much to try to help the least of these
Politics will not decide if we should rise
And be your hands and feet

Singing...
Hey now
Fill our hearts with your compassion
Hey now
As we hold to our confession

Whoa-oo-ooh
God, be the solution
Whoa-oo-ooh
We will be your hands and be your feet
Yeah Yeah

Higher than our circumstance
You promised and you loved for all to see
Higher than our protest lines and dollar signs
Your love is all we need

Hey now
Fill our hearts with your compassion
Hey now
As we hold to our confession

Whoa-oo-ooh
God, be the solution
Whoa-oo-ooh
We will be your hands and be your feet

Whoa-oo-ooh
God, be the solution
Whoa-oo-ooh
We will be your hands and be your feet
Whoa Yeah

Only you can mend the broken heart
And cause the blind to see
You erase complete, the sinner's past
And set the captives free

Only you can take the widow's cry
And cause the heart to see
Be the Father to the fatherless
Our Saviour and our King

We will be your hands
We will be your feet
We run this race for the least of these
In the darkest place we will be your light,
We will you light

We will be your hands
We will be your feet
We run this race for the least of these
In the darkest place we will be your light,
We will you light

Whoa-oo-ooh
God, be the solution
Whoa-oo-ooh
We will be your hands and be your feet

Whoa-oo-ooh
God, be the solution
Whoa-oo-ooh
We will be your hands and be your feet

We will run
We will run

We will run with the solution

We will be your hands
We will be your feet
We run this race for the least of these
In the darkest place we will be your light,
We will you light we´ll sing
