Details and Typhoid Fever

Details I have; typhoid fever I don't. I did, however, get a vaccine for typhoid today. The resulting sore shoulder is a reminder of what's coming, of the journey to White River, of the relationships we can build and the difference we can make in continuing the great works of Ten Thousand Homes.

As if I need a reminder. As commitments for prayer are flowing in, the gofundme site is being shared, and financial resources are committed, it's enough to overwhelm a fella. I'm not quite overwhelmed, though. I have a great team going with me and a great team here at home. Most of all, I have a glorious Father in Heaven inhabiting the praises rising for the kingdom work being done.

We got an email update yesterday from our contact in South Africa with a huge list of the things we'll be doing. Below is a list of some of those things, but keep in mind the words of our contact: "this is Africa and we must hold all our plans loosely."

• Cooking and feeding
• Construction
• Home repairs/maintenance
• Hospital visits
• Home visits
• After-school programs
• Sharing meals and having tea, encouraging vulnerable women and children

If you didn't catch yesterday's Facebook post, there are two coming opportunities to have some fun, eat some good food, and contribute to the cause. 

Monday, April 28, from 5:00 p..m -- 8:00 p.m. is South Africa Night at Chick-fil-a Towne Creek Commons in Salisbury. Just mention the South Africa team and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the cause.

Friday, May 2, from 6:30 p.m. -- 9:30 p.m. is the first ever Salisbury Scavenger Safari! Ever wanted to race around team solving puzzles and finding treasure? Contact at Caleb Efird for details. It's $80/team of four, and the prizes are pretty cool.

I honor all of you who have already taken the opportunity to get involved and encourage you and everyone else to keep sharing and praying.

Check out the gofundme site for ways to contribute.

Have a great week, y'all!
