The God of Malawi ... and Everywhere and Everything else.

Malawi isn't a large country. Someone on this trip told me it's about the size of Pennsylvania. Malawi will never be the center of the political world. No famous actors, singers, or artists hail from this tiny, landlocked, third-world country. But in God's eyes, Malawi is gorgeous, Malawi is great scenery -- including a masive freshwater lake that runs down the entire eastern border of the country.  It's home to thousands of unique animals, all designed by His sovereign hand, and all made to bring Him glory.

Our team had the privilage of exeriencing some of the most beautiful aspects of this great country the last two days. Our God looked great, and worthy of so much praise as we visited Lake Malawi and a large game park at the southern end of the country. Prais God our travels were safe and we were able to get close (but not to close) to Hippos, Elephants, Zebras, Warthhogs, Crocodiles, and many, many other breathtaking animals that call Malawi home.

No doubt many of you will see amazing pictures in the days ahead as the students share their experiences. With each picture you see, think of the wonder and majesty of a God so great, so powerful, He personally ovesees the teeming animal life in this small, seemingly insignificant country of Malawi.

It's hard to believe, but tomorrow is our final day here in Malawi. At 3:00 P.M. local time we board a plane for Ehtiopia, then we will continue on to Washington D.C. This will be my last blog post. I can't thank all of you enough for reading this blog and praying for this trip.

Our time in Afirca has been unforgettable. God's answered so many prayers and revealed Himself mighty to save and sanctify teenagers from American and men and women from the heart of Africa.

Team unity has stayed intact throughout the trip, our health is good, our spirits are high, and our hearts are full of praise. We are eager to see many of you when we return Friday evening. Until then, continue to pray for our safe travels, and pray also for the people of Malawi. We will forever feel a special kinship with this small country.

Signing off,
In Christ,
Corey Williams.
