My dear husband is Africa bound tonight, so please pray for him. He will leave Dulles airport at 5:20 and will arrive in Johannesburg, South Africa, Monday afternoon. He will stay overnight in Jo-burg and then will fly to Livingstone Tuesday, arriving at 12:50 PM, at which time his wife will be one excited woman!!! Given will be driving us to the airport. Needless to say, I can't wait! Ten weeks was a long time, but it is coming to end, and what a happy reunion we will have :) Matthew and I are so eager to be with him and have him share in our experiences in this "home away from home".
As you pray for his safe traveling, we have one other prayer request...He knew all along that South African Air allows two 70 lb. suitcases, but just this past week, he found out that his connecting flight from Jo-burg to Livingstone is a different airline and their "restrictions" appear to be ONE 40 lb piece....thus a potential problem. SAA says he should be ok since he is coming from overseas, but that isn't completely reassuring. Please pray that they waive the restriction for him and that all his luggage comes with him and he won't have to pay for the extra weight. For all of you that know him, you would know Ken would have had little more than a carry-on if he was just bringing HIS belongings! However, being the kind, gracious guy that he is, he has agreed to bring some things for others with him and some things
to give away to the Zambians, as well as a few requests from his wife and son :) What a guy, huh? And many thanks to Hollis and Allie for picking up some things on my list and to my sister Deb, for helping him pack. I felt so bad I was not there to help him, but soon I will be by his side and will be the helper that God intended me to be for him :)
Thanks for your prayers!
Miss you all so much - Beth

It won't be long now, dear sister! It was such a joy to have Ken for supper last night and help him get ready to be on his way to you!! Oh, how I eagerly anticipate Tuesday with you . . . forget about counting the days, we're now in the "hours" countdown!! We're tracking his flights and praying for him each step of the way and will be thrilled when he's in your arms :)
Love you much,
Deb
Dear Beth,
Ken is in our prayers as he flies to Africa to be reunited with you and Matt! We pray that God would cause His angels to encamp around that plane that is carrying him to you; that they would go before him to prepare the way and would stick close behind him to be his rear-guard to protect him.
Dave and I rejoice with you in your excitement at experiencing Africa together. We will anticipate hearing all that God has in store for you during the next 32 days!
love you bunches,
Cathy
