The heart of the Mission

Dear friends
As we enter our last couple of days before we leave, we would just like to say how grateful we are to all of you who have come alongside us in obedience to what the Lord has put on your heart to be a part of for this venture we are on with the Him.
We have tried to thank each and every one of you personally or via email, but if we haven't thank you so much, this past week we have been so overwhelmed by the Lords provision for this trip, and know He is using us to be His hands and feet to go and bless many with your gifts of prayer,  finances and supplies.
We have been given the freedom to go into all the world and bless the very least of these and to say we are excited is an understatement!  We are still walking around not quite believing how the Lord has met us in meeting the very deepest desires of our hearts for this trip, so many details that have had our head swimming, are falling into place like a well oiled machine, it is such a privelege to literally be able to just watch the hand of the Lord move all around us.
Please be lifting us up in prayer these last two days:
For Abby not to be anxious
For good rest before our long journey
For any last minute details not to be overlooked
For the 'laundry pile' to majically and without much fuss make it into the suitcases waiting its immenent arrival! :)
For our luggage to arrive safely and for us to pass through without incident
For our host families, that we would be a blessing and not a hinderance to them
For safety on the roads
For us to be sensitive to the Lords leading each day we are there
For restoration of broken places and relationships
For quick adjustment to the time zone
For health, and no adverse reactions to malaria meds
For the hearts of those we are going to serve to be open to what the Lord would have us do and share with them
May the Lord bless and keep you all and make His face to shine upon you, may he be gracious to you and grant you His peace...
If you would still like to make an online donation, now or when we are away you may do say anytime at:

Much love in the Lord
The Gray Family
