Carrie & Denver Off To Africa

Carrie Connett Christensen and son Denver McClelland (20 years old) are off again for Africa.  They will be gone for three weeks this time.  They have collected bibles, bible video's for the blind, flip flops, tooth brushes/paste, some lap top computers, jump ropes, clothing, and other items to give out when they arrive.  They will be helping with the "crops" (corn and yams) and teaching from the Bible.  (Yes they took their boots and gloves)...

They can each have two suitcases weighing 50 lbs a piece.  It is rather hard to pack all the "above items" plus their clothing and food that they take.  But, they do manage.  This time, one of the village ladies asked Carrie to show them how to make a cake from scratch, so she is prepared with some cake pans and items.  Of course the flour and all ingredients are a little different there, so Good Luck Carrie on your cake baking...  Gucci (Carrie's dog) sitting on the lower left of the picture, knows when mamma is leaving, so she is sitting by the suitcases wondering when this is going to happen.  She will sit by the door every day awaiting for their return.

August 2, 2017 off for Africa...

Denver is great with the young children, and they love him so much.  Before Carrie and Denver arrive, the children will go by the "house" where Carrie and Denver stay, and they keep asking when is Carrie and Denver going to get there.  This will be Carrie's eighth trip there to spread the word of GOD, Denver has only missed a few.  Below are a few pictures of the family they get in touch with every year and some of the residents in the village(s).

This is Pastor Francis and his family, who Carrie keeps in contact, and works with when there.

Pastor Francis' wife...

 Carrie will have a "dress" made like the village women wear on Sunday's.  This way she "fits" in more...

Please pray for Carrie and Denver a safe journey.
