I'm about to leave for the Mercy Ship :)- (Finally they sigh :). I will fly out on the 18th June at 11am from Brisbane to Cotonou, Benin, Via Hong Kong and Paris. I land at 7pm on the 19th June where a Mercy Ship worker will meet me for transport to the ship. While I travel I would love your prayers for safety and for God's peace to calm my nerves. As I arrive may you pray that I settle in easily and become an effective worker and instrument for God's glory with the emotional strength to face the oft confronting realities of poverty.
Home from 19th June 09- 16th August 09.
I look forward to updating you on my arrival and filling this page with stories of this time and God's work with the people of Benin. A little geography for those who like me had no idea where Benin was:
As I go it is an old favourite song of our Sunday school that gives much encouragement (along with the bible that has all Gods promise to us)- heres a few verses for you:
God is Everywhere- Colin Buchanan
If Riley was a spaceman
Blasted off to Mars
Flew his super spaceship
To the far away stars
God will be there!
God is everywhere!
He sees you and He knows you
You cannot run away
Every second, Every minute,
Every hour, Every day,
God will be there!
God will be there!
God is EVERYWHERE.
Until I write from Benin God Bless.
Au revoir
Naomi
