Preparation time

Well, we are just about ready to leave for Togo West Africa. Dianne and I have been in preparation for many months and now it is just about time to pack the bags, say our goodbyes, make last minute arrangements, and check and checkoff our lists. We leave Monday July 12th by way of PNS, Charlotte, NC, Paris and arriving in Lome, Togo on the p.m. of the 13th. After spending one night (cannot travel in Africa at night) in Lome, we then travel by auto north 2 1/2 hrs to Adeta where the Karolyn Kempton Memorial Hospital (Baptiste Biblique Hospital) is located. Several of the full time missionaries at the hospital have contacted us to bring certain things and we have several things that have been sent to our home in Brewton to take over. These range from refurbished satellite phones to mousetraps and an array of things in between. Most importantly our prayers and your prayers have been the most important in our preparations and will sustain us this next month. Please continue to pray for us and those whom we serve. We look forward to using this blog to keep you posted. Blessings and Peace, Dianne and Salem
