Matthew to Africa

I am asking all of you all to pray for my baby brother Matthew. He is leaving on June 1st to travel to South Africa for 7 weeks. He will be working with a church plant family who lives along the Congo boarder among the Kaonde tribe of North West Zambia. The town is called Mumena, in case you have heard of it....Matthew will be building wells for the people there to have clean drinking water and he will be telling everyone about God. Matthew is not new to being a missionary he was in Brazil for 2 years and enjoyed his time there very much. He is very excited about going to Africa and getting to know a new culture and spread God's love. I spent all weekend making walmart trips and helping him pack. It was like he was going off to a very long summer church camp. He is having to take a preventative medication for Malaria and had to get several shots to prevent many other disease. He had to get a mosquito net to sleep under every night they say the bugs are bad. He is going to be living in a one room hut with no running water and very limited space. He will be eating the local food consisting of mush and grasshoppers. He will have very limited if any access to phone and Internet. I can not wait to hear about all of his adventures... I am so very proud of him and the Man of God that he is. Please pray for him on this great adventure. I will post any information that I receive from him.
He and Waylon have a very special bond I don't know who is going to miss who most for these next 7 weeks. The family that he will be working with does have a blog it is www.mumenamissions.org feel free to check it out to see what all is going on there and the people that he will be working with. We love you,Matthew! God Bless!
