EASTERN CAPE!!!!

My DTS outreach team and I spent about 11 days in a village, far from
any "modern" civilization.
When looking on google maps, the closest town is called "Coffee Bay".
(no it's not a town with rivers flowing with STARBUCKS, as we all
hoped)

My friend Matt and I are embarking on this journey once again leaving
Friday. March 12th.

We'll traveling up the east coast via a 21 hour bus ride, ending in
Umtata. We will proceed to take a 3 hour shuttle to a "eco friendly"
backpackers for the night. We'll then hike approx. 9kms along the
ocean, through so called "mountains" (which really are glorified
hills), to arrive in the village.

The purpose of this trip is to:
1. Visit our friends we made up there
2. Encourage other believers, including the Dr's, nurses and other
hospital staff we met before.
3. Capture a few photo stories (which we'll reveal when we come back)
for "A Voice for the Voiceless" South Africa.

Please be praying for:
SAFE travels
Favour with the locals
Me and Matt don't FREAK out on each other (haha kidding, we get along JUST fine)
We are lead by the Holy Spirit
The rest of our funding comes in for this trip


Thank for my lovelies.
Peace, LOVE and cut of shorts
