The Week Before







Our departure date is almost here! Tonight the NATIVITY: NIGERIA team gathered again. Travelers now have both their visas and passports. 50 lb. boxes were packed last week, mostly with vitamins, and one or two with some toys for the children. A few more bottles of vitamins and clothing were donated, and these were divided amongst the travelers to transport to Nigeria. The reflection journals to the travelers, and after triple checking the status of everyone's shots, immunizations and medications, it looks like NATIVITY: NIGERIA is ready to travel. Both of our team leaders, at Faith Alive Hospital and at Anawim Home, will have cell phones and laptops to communicate back home and share their daily experiences, so stay tuned for some very moving blog entries journaling the trip.

Many of us are not in a position to travel to Nigeria to participate in this incredible journey firsthand. We live in a community with abundant blessings. God is calling us to share with the "poorest of the poor", to reach out to those in need. Take a look at the videos on our blog. Look at the profiles of our travelers and volunteers. We are men and women of all ages, in different stages of our lives. Join us!
