Dear friends,
Kristo amefufuka! Christ is risen!
My plane leaves American soil tonight, Wednesday April 14th, around 10pm Eastern Daylight time. And I am scheduled to arrive in Mwanza,
Tanzania, by Friday afternoon.
I ask your prayers for traveling mercies. I've moved between the US
and Africa many times, and the voyage never gets any easier (though getting bumped up to business class helps a little). There will be much more travel ahead, and a host of unknowns await. I'm very
excited to be embarking, supported by God's grace in your holy prayers.
One of many unknowns is what communication will really look like once I reach Africa. It's my hope that by Monday April 19th you'll have
received word of my arrival. But if you don't hear from me right
away, it's because getting online is tougher than expected and I ask
your forgiveness in advance.
By your prayers,
James
Yonder are the crowns, yonder the punishments.
