We found out today that Joey Sr. has been picked for a team to the Sudan in March 09. This has been a dream of his to be able to go. For those who don't know - Our conference of the United Methodist Church has a covenant with the Southern Sudan and we send 5 to 6 teams a year over to help with things. We actually are getting ready to send 2 pastors over full time for a couple of years.
Anyway Joey will be going with a team March 1st-15th. We have a lot to do in the next 6 months - Raise money and get things like vaccines and passport stuff done. His team will be spending their time with the orphanage there and other children doing VBS and day camp programing. The funny thing is it has been a running joke that Joey wouldn't be aloud to go to the orphanage since we already have 6 adopted children!! I told him I would give him a dufflebag. What is a couple of more??!!
Please start praying now for this team now. Even though they will be "playing" this is still a hard 2 weeks both physically and emotionally.
