Update On Africa Trip

Thanks for everyone asking how they can get involved in our trip to Africa this summer. We haven’t sent our letter yet because we are still battling to lock down plans. We know so far that we’ll be going to Kenya first to visit an orphanage called Tumaini outside Nairobi. Our good friend Elaine connected us to this ministry, as she has recently become the U.S. face for the ministry via Community Uplift Ministries where she works. (It’s a little confusing, so don’t fret if you missed all that.)

We’ll be looking into long-term ministry opportunities there, and I might be able to shoot some promotional video for the orphanage. (By the way, I need to post that video for the children’s ministry in Brazil we just finished. It still has a few touches left, but I’ll post it for everyone to see. I’ll do that after this note.)

Then we’ll travel down to Mozambique, as Kara renews some of the medical relationships she made on her last visit. We’ll connect with the Lookout Team at the end of their visit and help in some orphanages outside Maputo, Mozambique.

After this comes the question mark, appropriately illustrated by my father above. We’ve been invited to think about Thailand. Many of you might say what we said when the suggestion came up, “What do Thailand and the Wynns have in common?”

Well, we don’t know yet. One thrust and hope of this summer’s trip is to prayerfully gain a better vision for what God is calling us to do. It’s an odd place to be knowing from heart to bone that you are called to “go”, but to not posses the same clarity as to where.

Though I don’t actually believe it wise to pester God about the details of your future — not only does he not owe it to us, there are enough verses that indicate He doesn’t plan on telling us (Eccl 7:14, for example) – oddly enough, we have felt free to pray this exact thing. Of course, He can say “no”. Our clear conscience to pray for this doesn’t mean He’s going to answer the way we want Him to, but we feel like now is the time to pray in faith for clarity. For those walking with us as prayer partners, this is our biggest request of the summer.

Knowing to whom we should “go” will allow us to make a number of other choices we have on hold and will provide some real traction for these next two years, while we pay down student loans.

This all to say: More info coming soon. We have a meeting tomorrow that should determine our travel plans. Love to everyone.
