Late post, sorry.

I said I would update the next day but that did not happen. Sorry. I am so excited about the things that we are already doing with the freedom project. We are working on grants and on-line auctions. All things that can be done here, from home. That is a huge blessing. I had planned on going to Africa to meet with officials from different ministries to invite them to join me in anyway they would feel comfortable. More accurately, I was going to ask to join them. I found out that I will have to have a spinal fusion next week and will have a very long time recovering. While I am very frustrated that I will not be going to Africa, I know that God has a plan and that I am not alone in this ministry. So, I will be here, with lots of time to complete grant applications and research. It will be a minimum of 18 months before I can fly that long again. Please pray for the ministry and for all who will be helping in the next few years. I do not want any of this to derail what God is doing and that means I have to trust Him more and more and depend on Him totally. I know He was leading me but I was holding too tightly to the controls. I love God's timing and know that all thing work together for the good and all of this is going to be good. Having said that, I do not think I will ever complain about needing more time to complete grant applications. God bless you all for caring about the hurting in Africa.
