Mission Team to Leave on July 20

Our mission team will leave on Thursday, July 20 for the flight to Johannesburg & then the six hour drive to Mbabane, Swaziland on July 21. Their mission in Swaziland will end on August 3. We ask your blessing prayers for their journey:

Living God, eternal Holy Spirit, let your bright intoxicating energy, which fired those first disciples, ignite our Iowa mission team in spiritual companionship with our brothers and sisters in Swaziland, as they work together to build St. Augustine's school for orphans in Mpaka, Swaziland. Amen.

Meet the mission team in the attached photo -- all but Mike Stewart, who will join the team from his new home in Tennessee.
