Yes, after a few hours of sleep in a nice guest house we began our first day in Africa. There was a "bird of paradise" blooming outside our window. South African birds were flying by making noises like screaming cats.
We met with two couples from the Flying Mission leadership for breakfast and spent time getting to know each other during the day. They are very nice people who have dedicated 30 years each to mission service in Africa. I was impressed with their great vision and passion for the people of Botswana and Zambia.
After a day of introductions they took us to the Johannesburg Airport and we flew out to Zambia where we arrived at 10 pm local. We head out into the "bush" tomorrow.
Above we're standing with our new friends from Flying Mission, John and Yvonne Lubbe.
