I'm going back! Burkina Faso Take 2!

Hi everybody! Well, I'm a little excited as a write this... I'm headed back to Burkina Faso, Africa tomorrow morning for a 10-day trip with 8 of my good friends from my church, Athey Creek. As many of you know, I was blessed with the opportunity to go to Burkina this last October for 2 1/2 weeks with my buddy Jason, and now, not even a year later, God has opened the door once again! This time the nine of us going will be helping to put on a kids camp for 320 grade school-aged kids where we'll be teaching the Bible, playing games, and simply getting to hang out with some of the coolest people on the planet!

I'm sorry for not writing sooner, but I really wanted to at least get an email out before we left so you could pray for us. Please pray!
Please pray for the ministry and that God's Word would penetrate the hearts of the kids and everyone we encounter on our trip!
Please pray that the Word of God would spread to those who haven't heard the Good News, that the Kingdom of Heaven would be added to!
Please pray for the travels and for safety as we go halfway across the world into a place that's, well, just about the opposite of the U.S. :)
Please pray that we as a team, and myself as a teammate, would be a blessing to those we're visiting, and not in any way a burden!
Pray that we would go about everything we're doing with the countenance of Christ Himself, that the love of Christ would compel us! (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)

I will be praying for all you back home. Thank you for your prayers and support, we could not and would not want to make this trip without that.

Here's also a link to the blog set up for the whole Athey team: http://accfburkinafaso.blogspot.com/ .
In Him,
