August 1 - Our send off

All of the travelers and families gathered at LCPC early Sunday morning to load the pickup with crates and head off to the airport in the van. a Special thanks to friends and family who drove us to the airport to ensure a safe and timely send off.

The crates

Friends old and new are heading over for a little more than 2 weeks, during which we'll strengthen our bonds with one another, with the people of Malawi, and with Jesus Christ.
