Welcome! Introductions and Presentations

Hello to all our friends and family! Welcome to our blog. We want to thank all of you who are partnering with us, enabling us to go to West Africa, and to thank you for your prayers. As we are gearing up for this awesome adventure, we'd like to share with you who we are and what we will be doing along the way.The team is comprised of seven people, all who attend West Shore Evangelical Free Church in Mechanicsburg, PA.
We are:
Ian Campbell, missions pastor of WSEF
Krista and Steve Frank ( wife/teacher and husband/engineer)
Ann and Aimee Hudson ( mom/ French teacher and daughter, middle school student)
Harold Underwood, engineering professor
Paul Mank, WSEF operations manager

We have been collecting items to take over to the Handicap Center in Mahadaga, Burkina Faso, which is in the southeast corner of the country. We will leave JFK on Monday, June 22, flying through Casablanca, Morocco, and then land in Ouagadougou, BF, which is the capital city. Then we will be driven to Mahadago. Included in our luggage will be antennas, materials for the handicap center-tools, walkie-talkies,wires, books, routers, laptops, clothes, gifts, etc--everything we'll need to set up a wi fi system for the handicap center/school, etc. Matt Walsh, one of the missionaries on furlough, just brought over bags loaded with stuff. We take all that "stuff" for granted here! We will return on July 8th. If our "mission" works, you will hopefully be able to follow us from Mahadaga! We can't forget any pieces here!That's enough for now. We'll try to add pictures of our team before we go.

Blessings to all of you,
Ann
