In less than 24 hours.....

Hello everyone! This is the start of the blog for the College @ 12 Stone(Water's Edge) team!! All 7 of us are so very excited to be going to Mozambique, Africa, where we will be part of the 100 wells project that 12 Stone Church and World Hope International have partnered up on. This has been an on going project that began in 2010. For those who don't know, the goal of this project is to build 100 wells in a span of 3 years to provide safe, drinkable water for many people in the different communities/villages. Along with providing wells, 12 Stone has also sent different teams of people throughout the past 2 1/2 years to celebrate and share the love of our eternal well of life, Jesus Christ. THIS, friends and family, is what we get to accomplish for the next week and a half. So, we need your help! God can move mountains, but PRAYERS move God. So, if you could, please pray for the success and safety of this team so that we are able to glorify the name of Jesus in Mozambique!

We are just so thrilled to be taking off to serve the Lord! In less than 24 hours, we will be on a 16 hour plane ride to Johannesburg, Africa. From there, we will arrive Thursday evening(Africa time), stay over night at a hotel, and wake up early in the morning to take a one hour flight to Maputo, Mozambique. Once we arrive in Maputo, drivers from World Hope International will be waiting to pick us up, and drive 3 hours to Xai-Xai, where we will be staying in the wonderful home of Mr. and Mrs. Lehman. Yes, that's two days worth of travel!! Again, please pray for our safety. Unfortunately, we will not have any access to call or text friends or family to update you all on our trip(except for emergencies). So, THIS blog is our communication to YOU! Be sure to check daily for any updates. So, without any further ado, here is your College @ 12 Stone(Water's Edge) team!!

Our Leader: Todd Sheppard
The Team: Danni Estanislao, Daniel Hunter, Chris Parsons, Ellyce Payne, Logan Seckinger, and George Zimmerman

Please note that there is a possibility that we MAY not be able to post a blog every night, but we will keep you updated with our journey when we can! Thank you all for your support, love, and prayers throughout the last several months to get us here!!! We love you all!!

Take care and God Bless,
Danni
