Hello, This is SunMin's younger brother, David.

I just got a phone call from my brother,
He has safely landed in Africa!
Thank the Lord!


~Please keep him in your prayers~

A Message from Dallas

(I hope this works... I'm using my PDA to post to this blog through e-mail.
Thanks to my Bluetooth enabled phone, I can have internet access pretty
much anywhere in the country.)

Right now, we're in Dallas, waiting for our flight to London. It will be
another 10 minutes before we start boarding.

Flight over here was not bad at all. I slept most of the way, and I got to
read a chapter in "The Shadow of the Almighty."

We had lunch at a food court in Dallas Airport, and are about to check in.

I most likely won't have internet access is Bonthe... After all, they
hardly have any light, and I wonder if they even have outlets where we're
staying. I'm looking forward to the bucket-flush toilets and bucket
showers...

Please keep us in your prayers!!

Now I'm off to London.

In Him,
SunMin

Letter to Supporters

Dear Supporter,

Thank you so much for partnering with me on my medical missions trip to Sierra Leone! By God’s grace and through gifts from over 50 generous individuals, I was able to raise $3,040, just enough to pay for the trip ($2,600) AND all the immunizations (~$460)!! Once again, THANK YOU!!

I want you to know that you are investing in the lives of many people in Sierra Leone with both tangible needs and eternal hope! Also, more directly you are investing in my life! Surely this will not be the last time I will be going to Africa, and all the shots I had to get were in preparation for future trips too. (After graduation, I am going to Kenya as a missionary for a year. But I will save that for another e-mail.) So thank you!!

I will be leaving for Africa TOMORROW! My flight leaves at 9:05AM, and I will arrive at Freetown, Sierra Leone at 8:45PM Friday (12:45PM 3/24 PST, that’s over 27 hours of travelling!). I will be back in Los Angeles at 10:33PM on April 1. Please pray for safe travel!

There are 43 of us going to Sierra Leone. Once in the country, we will be divided into three teams, and will go to three different cities: Bonthe, Kenema, and Lunsar.

I will be going to Bonthe with 9 other members. Bonthe is on an island right off the coast, so there will be more traveling. Again, please pray for safe travel!

I can’t explain how excited I am for this trip! I thank God for giving me this amazing opportunity, and I thank God for you!!

I do not know if I will have internet access in Sierra Leone, but if I do, I will be posting updates on my blog dedicated to this trip.

Once again, thank you!! May the Lord bless you tremendously!

In Christ,

Thank You!!

God is SO GOOD!!
By His grace, I was able to raise ALL $2600 needed for the trip!!
Thanks be to God!!

If you would still like to support, I would greatly appreciate it, because I still have to pay over $400 for all the immunizations and medications.

But as of now, I'm definitely going to Africa!!

To all the supporters out there, THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!
