Good morning family, friends and prayer partners ...
These last few weeks have flown by so quickly, and now the time has come. Our bags are sitting in the hall waiting to be loaded, and hard goodbyes have been said. We will leave this Wednesday to travel to Johannesburg, South Africa, and will be staying overnight with one of our dear colleagues before departure. Our flight is scheduled to depart on Thursday, August 6th, at 6pm (our time), and will be arriving in Charlotte, NC, on Friday, August 7th, 10 am (EST).
We can't put into words just how much we have appreciated all of your love and prayers throughout this past year, and especially these last 3 weeks. Your calls and emails have meant so much to us, thank you for continuing to lift us up, and encourage us as we begin this next chapter of our lives. As you all know, goodbyes are never easy, but we are so thankful that God has granted us such sweet times with our mission family and Swazi friends before we leave.
As we come to mind, please remember these special requests:
* Travel safety to Jo'burg, and our return flights to the States (Johannesburg, SA to Washington, DC; Washington, DC to Charlotte, NC)
* Sweet goodbyes with our mission family in Johannesburg
* Our Swaziland mission family, The Myers and the Allens ... pray for their strength and direction as they continue to serve the Lord throughout this beautiful country.
Also, pray for the Lord to call others to join them here in sharing the Gospel, the fields ARE truly white and ready for harvest.
* Direction on employment/ministry opportunities for us as we return to the States
* My parents as they adjust to moving into our home, and for Dad's continued improvement and rehabilitation
* Smooth transition for Jessie, Matthew and Sarah as they enroll back into Union County schools and begin school on August 25th
We look forward to staying in touch with you all, and cherish your friendship. Again, thank you for all the many, many ways you have ministered to our family,
and for all your love, support and prayers!
Serving Him together,
~ The Warren Family
