South Africa bound!

As many of you know, we will be leading a group of 18 students to go to South Africa for the summer! There is a Campus Outreach over there & so we will be helping their ministry during our stay. We are both so excited for this opportunity! This will be my (Kaye's) first trip out of the country! Ben actually got to go visit S.A. for a week last year & absolutely loved it so we feel very privileged to be leading this team. We LOVE the group of students we are taking (12 girls, 6 guys--those #s look pretty promising for the guys, huh?). We have had 2 retreats to prepare for our trip & they have both gone great. We have been so encouraged by how quickly the team is connecting!
Ben will be leaving this Monday, along with our director, G'joe, to go to South Africa to get everything set up for our time there. Please pray for safety in their traveling & that they would be able to get all the things done that they need to. And pray for jetlag...it is about a 20 hour flight!
Here are a couple of pictures of the team!

This one is at our first retreat...we met at Zaxby's for dinner. See how well they are bonding?!

Here's the whole team. All the girls thought it would be cute to do a side-pony-tail for the picture. Just wanted to say that in case you were wondering if this picture was taken in 2008 or 1980?!
