Prayers for the safety of your daughter and colleagues.

My youngest daughter 21years old leaves toward Madagascar Wednesday 8/13/14.
She graduated from college this past spring, and wants to begin earning her Masters of Social Work when she returns Fall of 2015.
My wife and I won't be surprised if she ends up at Seminary. But, that's Ellen's dialogue with God, not with us.
The ELCA (Lutheran Church) is sending her, and several dozen others every which direction around the world.
While they are officially listed as missionaries. Their real role is to "walk" with the people and learn that while the world is large and complicated, people are people regardless of their socioeconomic status. People giggle when they are silly, cry when they hurt, etc. Her assignment is to teach English at a school. She has a friend who will be teaching welding in Nigeria.
If you get a chance please include her, and her peers, in your prayers.
Should you want to occasionally follow her blog you can check in here:

Yes, I'm a little nervous. Perhaps even afraid.
Thank you,
