Palapye!

Thanks so much for all your prayers! I received official word today that Kelly and I are going to be placed in a "village" called Palapye, Botswana located about 3 hours north of the capital Gaborone. Village is in quotes because it is really like a small town in America--about 22,000 people. Botswana's only power plant is located just 5km outside of the village and there is also a coal mine nearby. Most of the people that live in the village work at the coal mine or the power plant. There is a new church plant there that was started by Brazilian missionaries and we will be working with them in addition to doing True Love Waits in the schools. That's all I know for now. There's not much on the internet about the village, but I did stumble across this picture that may give you a better idea of what the village looks like. Missionary Tim Cearley will be visiting Palapye in the next few weeks to find Kelly and I housing and to give us a better picture of what the village is like and the ministry already taking place there. You can begin praying for this trip and continue praying for Kelly and I as we anxiously await any bit of info! Thanks!
