  1. Hi Anthony and Jessica. I am so happy you have arrived in South Africa safely. How appropriate to rest at a place called Prayer Mountain. You know I'm new at this blogging thing. I sent you a prayer last night. Did you get it? Regardless, know that you both were in my prayers and I pray that the rest of your trip is a safe, spiritually uplifting and rewarding experience and that your team will be a blessing in the lives of the people you will touch while there. Love you both. Mom

  6. Greetings to Ryan and Aubrey from Mom and Dad Bauer. Throughout the last 48 hours, we have wondered where you guys might be. It's incredible to realize that you are in another continent! This has truly been orchestrated by God, and we look forward to experiencing this journey with you as you make updates. Just know that you have several people in Sumter praying for the entire group. Ryan and Aub, we'll be thinking about you tomorrow while we are eating our Kentucky Derby Pie!! :) We'll make you something special when you return! We love you, Mom & Dad

  12. Hi Savanna.
    All you young adults are special people. God created you in His image and He has His Hand on you. We are so proud of all of you. Savanna, God will lead and guide you in everything you do for Him and the people of South Africa. Every person, no matter where they are, is God's creation and He loves them. Enjoy yourself and we know you will work hard, also. Love you lots!!! MaMaw and PaPaw

  13. Hi Anthony and Jessica,
    Today is Sunday. Just want to touch base with you today and share a few messages from home. I pray everything is going well and that you both are well rested. Aunt Loretta is in Maryland now and sends her love. She said to tell you that you are both blessed and highly favored. She sends her love and is praying for you both. I called Deb but did not get an answer. I left her a voice mail message. Spoke with Tristen and she said she sends her love. she will try to figure out how to send you a blog this evening. Smokie said to tell you she has been in cat communication with Miho Monster. Smokie said Miho is trying real hard to refrain from being distructive, but it is not easy. He doesn't understand why he could not go with you. Smokie says she understands how Miho feels, but encouraged him to hang on a little longer. Well -- all for now. Love you both, be safe, be a blessing, have fun. Love, Mom

  16. AS you sleep, may The HOLY SPIRIT speak to your hearts the following:

    Colossians 3:12 AMP
    "Clothe yourselves therefore, as God’s own chosen ones (His own picked representatives), [who are] purified and holy and well-beloved [by God Himself, by putting on behavior marked by] tenderhearted pity and mercy, kind feeling, a lowly opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, [and] patience [which is tireless and long-suffering, and has the power to endure whatever comes, with good temper]."
