Welcome to our blog. We want to thank all of you who have given us the opportunity to go to West Africa. 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
We have been collecting items to take over the 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.
Bonjour Ann et Aimé. Je viens de me connecter à votre blog qui me permet de prendre connaissance de votre "fabuleux" voyage au Burkinafaso. Mes pensées et mes prières vous accompagnent et en particulier pour le voyage. Faites plein jolies photos. Et pour le reste, je ne doute pas que vous allez faire très plaisir à la population avec vos cadeaux utiles. Bisous et donne des nouvelles régulièrement. Babeth
Hello Aimee, her family, and others, Hope you had a good time during the flight. I have nothing important to say... so bye and have good luck. Aimee... don't hurt yourself- LOL :D.
Hi Ann and Team, It's 6 PM EDT on 6-25-09 so I'm guessing you are now in Mahadaga. Hope your journey there went well and that your cross country trip was uneventful. I've been imagining where you all were over these past days and what you were doing wishing I was there with you. PLease keep us updated as often as you can to let us know how things are going. Steve, Harold and Paul I am praying that your project will be successful and that all your plans will have anticipated each twist and turn along the way. Ian, I am praying that you will have many opportunities to minister to Dale, Flo, Matt, Julie & the many nationals you meet. Ann, Aimee and Krista I pray that you will all be used by God to touch the young children of Mahadaga. Please let everyone know I said hello and if Djida (SP) remembers me please say hello to him as well. Blessings, Brad
