Tomorrow, our feet will land on African soil.  It will also mark one year exactly since Charlee's first seizure.  A lot has happened between then and now, and I thought this little post about her would be appropriate.  We've just finished up our Facts & Friction course in the UK - a great but busy 2 weeks, and are looking forward to what's coming up next.  I'll write a little more about F&F in a few days, until then, here's a little bit about Charlee.

READY FOR TAKE OFF!!! OUR MAY NEWSLETTER.

Matt left this morning for Nampa, Idaho for standardization training!  Fred was in my bedroom at 6:01am asking, "Mama, is Papa gone?  I miss him already."  I didn't want t tell him, but I already miss him, too!  I'm sure this will be a long, busy month for Matt while away, and for me and the three kids, packing up and getting ready to leave in under two months!  Please keep us in your prayers in the midst of this busy time, and in the meantime, please enjoy our latest newsletter.

Also, check it out, we made the homepage :)    http://www.mafc.org

Heading to Uganda

We are very excited to be heading to Uganda with the Mission Aviation Fellowship to serve as a pilot family!  Matt will be flying over 1400 mission and humanitarian organizations and helping reach some of the most the isolated people on the planet with food, medical supplies and the knowledge that there is someone Greater out there to love and care for them.   

About Uganda:

Although referred to as the Pearl of Africa, Uganda is subject to armed fighting among rebels, armed gangs, militias, and various government forces that extend across its borders from neighbouring countries; Uganda hosts 209,860 Sudanese, 27,560 Congolese, and 19,710 Rwandan refugees.  

In Uganda, MAF not only delivers relief, aid workers, food and medicine to the refugees and other needy people, they provide missionaries with cost effective and reliable transport within the country and to Kenya, the Congo and Southern Sudan - the world’s newest and poorest country.  

“In Uganda, 35% of the population lives in poverty.”    

“There are fewer than 1.5 health care workers for every 1,000 Ugandans.”

Please consider partnering with us, as we are looking for monthly and one time support, and multiply the effectiveness of the more than 1400 organizations MAF partners with to get people, supplies and and the love of God to where it needs to be.
