Safari. Sounds exotic, doesn't it? You may even think that "safari" only applies to Africa and a search for the wild, beastly animals that lumber and dash over the Serengeti. A safari is "a journey or hunting expedition." In six days we will set off on a journey to The Philippines, Thailand and Nepal; it will take us 19 hours and 3 minutes to fly there as we cross the international date line. Our journey will be a journey of the heart, and our expedition will take us into cities like Manila, Bangkok and Kathmandu to meet our sponsored children.
How do you prepare for a safari like this? You can read about the lands and the people, and we do that. You can pray for God to give you an open mind and heart, and we are doing that. One of the most important ways to prepare for such a journey is to go with an attitude of service. There will always be people, things and events that delight and surprise you. There is no way to prepare for that. That is something you take in and enjoy.
Why don't you "pack your bags" and visit our blog from time to time? Why don't you join our safari? We'll share the Children of Promise sponsorship experience with you. Who knows? You may one day board the plane and journey with us to meet your own sponsored child.
The team - Brenda Berry (Kentucky), Kathy Knox (Indiana), Bob Weeks (Wisconsin), and Linda Mason (COP Associate Director/Indiana) - will meet in Minneapolis before bounding off to Toyko and then Manila. We can't wait to take you there! - Linda Mason
