I guess the flight left ok. I've got two buddies who went with Afreican Leadership to visit and document the famine and AIDS eppidemic in Africa. They left this morning. David Braud is going to be filming and taking photos in hopes to put together an awareness video for African Leadership to use. Dan Haseltine is the other guy. He sings for Jars of Clay and has been involved with African Leadership for some time raising money for their other endevors which have primarily been training Christians to be pastors of the rapidly growing Christian community in Africa.
The growth into addressing the AIDS situation and the famine have been a natural progression for African Leadership, but is obviously very difficult to do. Please pray for these two freinds - for safety, the Lord to open their hearts as he does their eyes and for the other numerous things that are involved in a trip to such a place.
