Update on CAR generators

From Jeff Shaeffer....

Update on Africa: The generators have been released and are on the way to the C.A.R. Mike and the gang arrived at their site and did everything they could to set it up so that when the generators arrive they just have to plug them in. Unfortunately they will not be there to see it all come together. Thank you for your prayers!

Prayer Now, Please

Please Pray TODAY.

Our team in the CAR needs your prayer right now.

Just a recap for those of you that don't go to Hope...

In 2008, our church raised funds to dig 10 wells which provide enough clean water for 5,000 people. (Read more about how clean water can change lives HERE.) Not to mention, sponsoring hundreds of orphans so they can have homes, food and an education.

So, this year in addition to more funds for wells, a company in which a church member is involved has donated three very powerful generators. They will provide much needed power to the orphan care center, radio station, offices of ICDI and the base camp for the drillers.

The generators have been stuck in a container in port for months. Very frustrating.

They need these generators to be released and delivered to them TODAY. That is one of the main reasons they are on this trip so that they can get them all set up. So, they just need lots of prayer.

The team is excited about the children and the work that has been done so far. They are also tired and frustrated over these containers. Please pray for them!

Here is the link to their blog. Please go there and leave them an encouraging word.

Thanks a bunch, ladies!
