We are getting ready for the mission trip of our lives. Two years in the planning and we are heading towards the finish line. Our departure date is June 17, 2006. Most of the team is here with puppets we made with David Pannabecker. They are dressed and ready for their ministry debut at an Oregon State Penitentiary. All told, we will be bringing over 50 puppets, stage and sound system as part of the training we will be doing with staff members of Sports Outreach Institute. The plan is to train leaders in using puppets and to minister to children in orphanages, schools, detention centers and refugee centers in Uganda and Kenya.
