It's Official.

I am so excited to announce that in 4 months I will be on my way to Burkina Faso, Africa! I just received my passport in the mail yesterday!


For those of you who haven't heard the news until now, here is some Basic Info:




A team of nine people from Athey Creek Christian Fellowship will be traveling to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso in Late August. Our primary purpose will be to put on a kids camp for approx 300 kiddos. The Kids camp will consist of bible stories, games, songs and tons of silly fun. Another group from ACCF went in 2002 and left such an impression that the kids who attended it have been praying for another one ever since.

Please help us keep this trip covered in prayer.


Lord Bless You!
