Welcome to our "Night of Africa"

A tour of our African Experience and the Silent Auction tables...

**Forgive my commentary in the background, by this time of the night my voice was shot and I should have known better than try to be heard!**

A tour of the FOOD...

The Dinner...
(Unfortunately, you'll have to put on your spectacles to actually see this one! The candlelight does not lend itself to good pictures!)

The Everything Skit...

I've seen this skit many times as the kids have been practicing and refining it...and I've never once watched it without being moved to tears...The tears come for several reasons. First and foremost because it has such a powerful message of God's unending pursuit to win our hearts; secondly because I hold a deep love for each of these students and know they acted out of a genuine desire to share what God means to them. The skit was completely student run and poured out of the depths of each of their hearts...

**Unfortunately, my camera battery died right at the end, so the video ends a little too abruptly! I'll replace it w/a better one if someone wants to send their copy to me!**

The evening was alot of fun for all of us and I think gave a glimpse to all who attended of why we have chosen to go to Gabon. We had a great time afterwards sitting with Meredith Brokopp's parents as they shared some of what we should expect and encouraged us to look for the LORD's hand in the planning process. We all walked away with a renewed excitement for what lies ahead. There is so much work still to be done and we desperately need your prayers over these next few weeks and months.

THANK YOU to all who helped us set up and put on such a great event!
