Goodbyes
It was an emotional night for the team as they said their goodbyes. The kids performed a few of their favorite songs for us, and we had a time of prayer with George and Anne-Marie. Then the tears came, with many of the team knowing this will be the last time they see the young friends they've made in the last week and a half. Knowing the difficult past many have come from, we pray for these kids, hoping that their future is as bright as our week at the Ark here has been. 
As I write, the team is packing up their tents and making final preparations for the bus to arrive. We'll load up around 10:00, drive to Windhoek for lunch, and then on to Okahandja to stay the night. In Okyville we'll be staying at another orphanage under the CHI banner, as well as be able to meet Jos and Sylvia, CHI directors.
Our contact with technology is likely to be limited over the next few days. If possible, I'll post tonight from Okahandja; most likely, though, the next time you hear from us will be during our short stopover in Johannesburg on Thursday.
Pray with us for and a strong leading of the Spirit as the team debriefs and begins to process what we've seen and done over the last many days. Pray also that work we have supported here will continue with God's strength. And pray for safe travels as we begin our journey home.

Goodbyes can be so painful! I have no words....just share your tears of joy and sadness.
What moving moments! Remy, no news on your lost bag here. SAA wants you to check while you are in Johannesburg and in London. Travel safe and God Bless!
Love to you and Kane, Mom ( Linda Morgan )
We have really appreciated this web log and the impressive photographs that go with it. Who is the talented photographer? We forwarded this URL to Karen Henriksen, Missionary Doctor in Angola, as she has expressed great interest in what you are doing. It's very moving to read and see what's happening. This must be a very emotional part of the trip for all of you. God bless you all. We look forward to your safe return. A special hello to David, Brad, Kevin and Kane.

I'm glad this weblog positively affected so many, and allowed so many to follow along with us on our trip. The logs show that we've had about 300 people per day visiting the site.
The photography duties have been shared between myself, Taryn Small and Jesse Rosten. Jesse and I are also filming a documentary about the trip and the ministry in Rehoboth. It will take some time to finish, but we'll let the team know when it is available.
Thanks for all of your encouraging comments and your prayers,
Trevor.
