Bryan has booked all his flights and is working with a few specific friends of ours to set up speaking engagements, etc and will be headed to North America to do his first fundraising trip. He will be in West Michigan from March 4 - March 14th then flying to Chino/Redlands California on the 14th. He will be staying there until the 21st of March and then on the 22nd of March he is headed to Vancouver, Canada until March 29th at which time he will return to Lesotho (the 31st). If you are interested in seeing him or hearing him speak, I'll try to post where he will be as we get closer to his departure.
A few prayer requests would be that God will move in the hearts of those Bryan will speak to and they will feel lead to support Beautiful Gate through prayers, volunteering, and/or financial support. Pray that God will use Bryan as His tool to share the hope and love of Beautiful Gate and that He will fill Bryan with wisdom and discernment. We thank God for those who are helping him with his travel plans and finding him places to stay and ask that God will bless all those who are helping with planning and opening their homes.
The kids and I regret that we will not be able to join Bryan on this trip as we would all love to go and see family and friends and adoptive parents who have come through in the last year, but it would not be financially responsible for all 5 of us to go (bummer). So, please pray for the 4 of us as we remain in Lesotho. Pray for the kids especially as their grandparents are leaving on February 29th after 2 months of living with us here in Lesotho and then their daddy will be traveling starting on March 3rd! Yikes, our timing could have been better, but God is faithful and He will see us through this time apart. Thank you for your love and prayers and especially thank you to those of you who will be seeing Bryan in the next month and making him welcome!
Once we get closer to his departure, I'll also try to post the information for sponsor a house for those of you who may be interested, but may not live in the areas where Bryan will be speaking.
