Miles In Missions

By: Lenny Miles

Cap’n Crunch Time! I chose that title because it is true for us in a several ways right now. For one, we are eating everything in sight to get our last fills of American foods. Cap’n Crunch, Lucky Charms, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, etc. etc. and that’s just the breakfast cereals!

In the past couple of weeks we have had many “Good-bye” events, parties, and dinners with friends and family. Packing on the pounds has never been easier with all of the great homemade food and deserts. Did I mention the deserts?

All of the Goodbye events have been wonderful and we are so blessed to have everyone in our lives, even if they will be some 5,000 miles away from us for the next two years. We are also very glad that technology can bring us back together on a regular basis with Skype, cheap internet phone calls, this blog, and of course Facebook!

Right now, we are just eight days away from leaving and it’s definitely “crunch time” for our family. We’ve sold everything including both cars and Cason has a few items left he has on craigslist. Click Cason 1 and Cason 2  for links to his items. He wants to purchase a remote control four wheeler to take to Egbe.  Next, is the need to pack everything in luggage and boxes that have to be airline approved size and of course, they have to be under 50 lbs. each. This will be a challenge to say the least.

Lastly, it’s “crunch-time” for our support goals! Our support is just $200/month shy of where we need to be and we still need 104 prayer partners. If you feel led to participate with us in this ministry to the Nigerian people and the hospital that is so important to them, please prayerfully consider a monthly commitment of $10, $25, $50, or more per month to Miles In Missions. Prayer support is just as important as financial support, so if you want to be a prayer warrior, please email Patrice to let her know.

I need to tell you that I am continually amazed how people have come behind us and this ministry to support it in big ways. We want to give you all a very big THANK YOU as we would not be able to GO if people like you did not SEND.
