Abilene and Africa?

The day we got back from the states we had lots of mail stacked up.

One of the letters was a very important letter for Bronwyn.

What was it?

Here's what it was:

She is now officially accepted to ACU and will start the fall of next year.  She was very excited.

Before she leaves for college she will go on a short term mission trip to Rwanda.

She's going to be helping some missionaries who are friends of ours from college.  She'll be staying there in March and April.  She has had a heart for Africa since she was a little girl.  She will be doing lots of different things including working with orphan kids from the genocide (Have you ever seen Hotel Rwanda? It will crush your heart.).  

She has been fund raising for her trip and God has already blessed her with a few financial supporters, but she is still short of her goal.  

She has a blog if you are interested.  It's www.bronwynblume.blogspot.com or go here if you don't want to cut and paste.  

If you would like to be a financial partner to help Bronwyn get to Africa just let us know or go to her blog and leave her a comment stating your desire to help.  She HATES to blog so leave as many comments as possible to let her know you are following her blog.  Put some pressure on her to keep it up as her trip approaches. 

Our family knows first hand that fund raising is a hard but faith building experience.  We would appreciate you prayerfully considering helping Bronwyn on this faith walk.
