It is hard to believe that our time in Senegal is shortly coming to an end. It has been a time of growth and depth for each member of the team. Each of them has risen to the task of being a representative of Christ in this country. We are pleased and proud of each of them.

Today, we returned to the deaf school and presented the gospel to the children there. They were receptive and attentive.

In the afternoon, we went to Dakar Academy and led the chapel in this school which is home to a large number of Missionary kids who's parents are scattered throughout West Africa. What a privilege it was to be with these students. They sang praises to God with zeal and really challenged us to be bold in our praise of Jesus Christ.

In the evening, our students were dispersed among the different dorms of Dakar Academy and shared a meal with the students in the dorms.

Tonight, we are packing up and preparing for our day of debrief tomorrow before heading to the airport for the journey home. We will be spending most of the day at the Meridian hotel, enjoying a meal, swimming in the pool and beginning the important task of processing all that we have learned and experienced during our 2 weeks in Senegal. Please pray for this time. Debrief is a very important part of a short term missions trip and if done well can help us to properly take all that we have learned over these two weeks and solidify it for a lifetime.

Our flight home begins on Saturday March 13 at 1:50 AM. We will be flying from Dakar to Washington DC on South African Airways flight 207. It is scheduled to arrive in Washington at 6:00 AM.

We leave Washington for Toronto at 12:30pm on United Airlines flight 8049. It is scheduled to arrive in Toronto at 2:01pm.

As always, please check the airlines for any delays or changes to these times.

Please remember that your son or daughter must continue to take all of their Malarone for 7 days after their return from Dakar.
