Well, after a great dinner in our hotel near NYC's JFK airport, we settled in to watch the Florida v. Cincinnati game. What a great way to end a long day!
I think Steve & my dad are pretty pumped!!
The purpose of the trip is 3 fold:
1) Show Steve the history of Forgotten Voices and dream about new ways ahead in Zimbabwe for our ministry.
2) Standardize reporting on projects to put us in a better position to grow long-term
3) Explore microfinance possibilities in Zambia to better put our church partners in a position to lift people out of poverty -- those in their churches caring for kids that are orphaned from AIDS.
Those are the tactical goals, but our over-arching one is the same as our mission: "demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ by equipping local churches to meet the physical & spiritual needs of children orphaned by AIDS in their communities." To demonstrate Christ's love. That's what we want to do daily!!!
Tune in tomorrow!!! I gotta sleep. My dad and Steve are talking it up. Glad they are getting along. We'll see if that lasts when/if Steve hears my dad snoring. :)
