Headed to Africa!

Published on April 21, 2010 by Mike Ehl

I never thought I would ever go on a trip like this. I was given the opportunity to be a chaperone and took it. So excited to be heading to Africa this summer. I am going to be going with 3 of the high school students (George Missailids, Gabi Gonzalez, and Kyle Bottolfson). We are headed to Swaziland July 15th-25th. We are so excited. We really feel as a group that we are truly called to be a part of this trip. God is good and it's an honor to serve Him. We are going with an organization call A Heart For Africa. If you would like to learn more about the organization check out www.heartforafrica.org . On the last day we are there we are going to be participating in an event  known as Listemba which means hope in their native language. There will be upwards of 15,000 kids at this festival hearing about the Love of Christ and how they are wanted. It's so awesome. I can't wait for this trip. It's going to be such a life changer. We have a long way to go on fundraising but are certain that God will bring the funds we need. He is good and faithful.
