I’m going to knock you to Timbuctoo!!
I heard that saying as a child. Well it is coming true in my life. I’m going to Timbuctoo (Tombouctou), Mali. The team from North Point is tired and have reason to be. We arrived at the airport at 10am (Thursday); flew to New York, then to Senegal Africa. We landed in Senegal about 4am on Friday. We had a 4 hour layover and flew to Bamako, Mali.
I have not taken any pictures yet, but I will. We are staying in a nice hotel the first night and the last night. The nights in between sound intesting. We drive approx. 8 hours on Saturday close to Timbuctoo. I will be preaching there on Sunday. We will be meeting with some pastors over these days that have a desire to reach many of the unengaged. They say the hotel has no electricity and the only running water comes from a tank on top that stores water.
We also met a lady who has been a missionary here for 5 years and has been working with and praying for laborers to reach these groups. It is exciting to see the Lord working even before we arrived. Pray that the Lord orders our steps as we lay the groundwork for what could be a strategic partnership between the American and Mali Churches to reach people
We are 5 hours ahead of Georgia. I have been up alomost two days and my eyes are crossing. If you find any typo’s, just know it’s not normal. Keep praying for North Point’s involvement in reaching the Unreached, Unengaged!!! We plan on partnering with some other Bible preaching churches to connect them directly to the National pastor on the field to turn their country up-side down. These Mali nationaly pastors are willing to send of their best men to be trained by us in Bamako
Love everybody, I hope to be home next Friday.

I’m extremely thankful for this blog.. If it wasn’t for this blog I wouldn’t be able to comment and tell you that you missed an amazing football game today. Tennessee 45 – Georgia 19. Georgia didn’t have to worry about getting any excessive celebration penalties today. Haha. Just remember that what you’re doing in Africa is better than the outcome of a football game.
