Almost There

Sitting in the Brussels Airport waiting for our Brussels Airlines flight to Conakry, Guinea. So far the trip has been fairly smooth. The flight from Chicago to Brussels was pretty long. Watched some movies and CBS sitcoms, read and prepped for sharing Christ with the Maninka, and saw an incredible sunrise from about 20,000 feet above the clouds as we were flying over Western Europe. We hope to post some video message and even talk to you through TokBox as we are gone (tokbox.com/stewonline). Not sure how our internet connection will be in Guinea though.

Brussels Airport has been interesting, seeing the incredible diversity of cultures and people groups. Reminds me of the need to share Christ throughout the world.

I am excited! That has been the question I have been asked the most the last week as we were prepping to leave…”Are you excited?” Yes, I am and I know the team I am with are. The encouragement I believe God has given me the last couple of days is that with the distractions Kelly and I have been through is a great reminder that the Enemy knows God is going to do great things during our time in Guinea so he is on the atack. But, God is our Victory, Strength, and is Sovereign. I feel He has also reminded me that the challenges I have dealt with over the last week is small potatoes compared to the needs, obstacles, and challenges the Maninka people have we are about to love on.

Thanks for praying for us and pray that we will have the ability to communicate with our family and with you during our time in Guinea.
