Greetings from the Heathrow Airport
God is faithful, and after a 5 1/2 hour flight we have arrived safely in London. While half of our team is enjoying "the quiet seating area", the other half of us are now drinking Starbucks (a tall cup of coffee here is about $3.50), and we're planning on spending the rest of our 10 hour layover doing devotions together and sharing our testimonies, and, of course, sleeping and eating. We will leave from London for Entebbe around 9:15 tonight (4:15 PM EST), and Lord willing arrive at 7:45ish (12:45 AM EST) tomorrow morning. We will meet up with Karen and will fly from there to Bunia. Thank you for your prayers. We miss you already.
1 Thess 5:16-18 "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

As you were waiting in Heathrow, I was waiting in PHL and MIA, but in the end I only was about an hour late getting to Lima. But here I am in TorreBlanca Hostal in Lima, writing to my children and their group hopefully in Congo by now. I´m praying that God will keep you all centered on the ministry He has prepared for you, healthy and enjoying the fellowship. Take care!

We received a call from Russell this morning that the team arrived safely in Bunia.
“We have arrived safely in Bunia. We are very tired and struggling with jetlag, but we wanted to let you know we had a good flight and were greeted warmly by Gregg and Karen. We send our love to the church family and hope to be in more contact when we have internet access during the week.”
We will publish any updates that we receive on the Congo Team homepage at www.bethelbaptistde.org
