Nzambe azali lokola moi

GOD IS LIGHT

Deciding to just come home for this week of Spring Break has proven to be a wise decision. I have enjoyed mom's home cooking, free laundry and hours of sleep! These days have also given me time to process what is ahead in these last eight weeks of college. Exams, traveling with The Narrow, my Senior Recital, research papers, the whole gambit. All of this so I can walk on May 9th then whisk off to Africa a week later!

In preparing for my time in the Democratic Republic of Congo, I have been looking up scriptures verses in Lingala. Doing so helps me get in the word, memorize verses in English so I can know what I am attempting to say in Lingala. The title of this entry is one of the first verses I have down. It is taken from 1 John 1:12 "God is light: in Him there is no darkness at all."

"Nzambe azali lokola moi, pe epai na ye molili ezali ata moke té"

As of this week, I am a little over a third of the way funded for my extended missions trip! I am beyond grateful for the continued generous support. The team and I are just nine weeks away from leaving and are in great need of your prayerful support. Pray we will continue to be diligent in our preparation. Pray for those we are going to be ministering to that they would be open to what God has for them. Pray about financially support this trip.

Lord Bless,
