On the way to Addis Ababa

I'm sitting in Dulles Airport, Washington having my last Starbucks Mocha for the next two weeks. Ethiopia is our next destination and then on to Zambia. Most of us were able to get a little shut eye on the flight from San Francisco. Now for the long 13 hour hop to the other side of the world. Final call...all the goats and camels are now loaded..now for us :))
Cous Cous for lunch I think...

Theme Song

I was driving into work this morning with thoughts of Zambia filling my mind and heart and I heard the song Take Me Into The Beautiful by Cloverton on the radio. My eyes immediately filled with tears as I realized in just a few days God will be taking our team into the "beautiful" of the Zambian people - some for the first time and some that are going back again.

I think this could be our theme song. (click link to hear the song)


Take me into the beautiful, won't You take me back again
With a love unexplainable, come fill up this dry land
Let it open our eyes to see a world we've never seen
Let it open our hearts up to see You inside of us
You're here inside of me

Take me into the beautiful where the rivers flow
Where the love that never ends
Oh I wanna go to the beautiful

Take me into the beautiful where the faces glow
Where the lights that never dim
Oh I wanna go to the beautiful
Come on and take me again
