Hey Mark,

 

It's great to make your acquaintance.  Lois Gould...It has been a few years since we've heard that name.  Kind iof sad because she was such a good friend back when we were based in Wheaton and of course Rwanda before that.  So what's your connection with Journey Corps, Mark?  Blessings!

I, Angelika, second what Lori is saying. Please put some of your photos on here. Especially the one with that overloaded truck you saw on the way up here to Bouake.

Yeay - I have a Journey Corps friend. HEllo, there, cousin. Will you be posting pho-toes here? SO great to see them - and you - at Thanksgiving.

Mark, thanks for the offer man! Here are a few things i could use...
A pack of 4 batteries AA Rechargeable, a small case for my Netbook computer ($20), a wide mouth Nalgene water bottle 32oz, and a wall charger for my iPod Nano ($20). All of these should be less than $60 and i can pay you back when you bring them.

Hi Mark. This is Dianne "talking" to you from Senegal, where we spend most of our time. Bill is in Ivory Coast right now, planning to head this way next week. Glad to hear you'll be heading to Africa to check things out for possible roofing projects, etc. There's certainly lots of work to be done! Let us know if we can help in any way.

Mark, thanks for your support and encouragement. I can just wait till you come and meet me in Cote d'Ivoire to get you a hand written support letter. We do not have a fax machine or scanner here. I would like to talk more about this process when you come.

Thanks,
Daniel

We hope to have 3 leaders here in mid-Sept and about 20 Journeyers here in later October for a year. Pretty excited! Most of it is over our heads, so we need much divine intervention, grace from PAPA, and prayers of saints...

Thanks Mark, how did you see i needed support? Mine is down now to actually 80%, so this is really discouraging at the moment. yeah i live with Rod on the ICA campus, been here for 4 months now.

Lets talk more when you come, will see you soon! Stoked to meet you brother and learn how to build contacts better... Can you pass that info on to Beckie Bray? She is our French teacher and much needed (key person) for JC and is having trouble finding all her support, needs to leave in Sept to come here. You can find her on here!
