Welp, the team officially flys out in 13 days - Monday, June 28th. We will be leaving Monday afternoon, stop in Washington D.C. for about an hour layover, then fly to Joburg through the night. It's a long flight, I think at least 12 hours, but I'm not for sure on that. I think most of us will be sleeping anyway. Fortunately we will have a day of rest to adjust to the time change.
Here's a layout of our schedule for when we get there: from July 1st to the 4th, we will be at Ebenezer Farms, doing mercy ministry in the townships (aka "slums") of Jo'burg. July 5th through the 8th we will be camping at Kruger National Park (oh boy!!!) and finally, we will move into our house that we're renting on the 9th. We will spend the first couple days doing city/campus orientation, and have a leaders gathering with the Campus Outreach staff there to kick off the semester. July 12th is our first day on campus at Wits. Basically, our first 2 weeks there will consist of mercy ministry, Kruger Park, and getting settled in the house and familiar with the city, campus, and COJ staff. Then the last 5 weeks we'll be laboring on campus.
That's pretty much it...When I get there, I will be able to get online to blog at least once a week. I'll also be checking my email too, it's keburns1@mail.usi.edu. I will not be checking facebook, which is probably a good thing. That's all for now.
In Him,
Kasey
