Welcome!

Welcome to the official blog of the 2011 Malawi Missions trip!

My name is Corey Williams and starting today, I’m going to regularly update this blog, keeping you — especially you dear parents of our Malawi team members — informed on what’s happening with team Malawi.

Between now and our June 28^th departure, I will be posting important information like meeting times, schedule of events, and — if I may speak in grandiose terms —  virtually everything you’ll need to know about our upcoming trip.

Once we get to Malawi, I will update this blog every day, letting you know exactly what our team is doing to serve the body of Christ in Malawi.

But before we get started, a little bit about myself. I’ve served on 180 staff for 3 ½ years now. For the past year, I’ve co-shepherded South Santa Clarita’s Bible study with Jeremiah Kirberg. I’m a script writer for the radio show, GRACE TO YOU. You may have heard of it. I’ve taken several mission trips in the past to some pretty interesting locations (Jamaica, Honduras, China). From the moment this trip was announced, I’ve felt a desire to go to Malawi and I can’t think of a better group to serve alongside of than the teenagers of 180!

Now, back to those all important details. For today, I’m posting a link to the CDCs web page on Malawi. There you’ll find all the necessary health information an American traveler needs for a trip to Malawi. Make sure you read it thoroughly and consult your doctor to see what he suggests.

Here’s the link:

Also, let me  remind all of you that the next Malawi meeting is for both parents and students on May 15^th.  Between now and then, check this blog regularly for updates, information, maybe even a little insight into the team leaders and our beloved missionary families in Malawi: the Biedebachs and the Floreens.

For the glory of the Savior,

Corey
