They are coming…!

Tomorrow morning (Sunday) the boys, as well as the rest of the student body, begin arriving!!!!  We have already met one of our boys who came in early and is staying with friends until Monday.  Any of our boys who are first time boarders and who don’t have older siblings already attending (which is 6 of them) will be here tomorrow for New Parent/Student Orientation.  The remainder of the students come on Monday!

All of our boys will move in Monday.  Well at least the ones who are here.  We have two who will be here later in the week because of flight schedules.  Prayers – lots of them – are needed and appreciated as we have hundreds of students and families flying and driving this week.   Not to mention, school starts this week, adapting to being away from their families, learning how to live in a dorm with new (hopefully) friends of many different cultures…  and the list can go on and on…!

We’re excited, and a bit nervous.  Truly words cannot describe the feelings inside at the moment… being here at RVA these past 3 weeks have been great, but tomorrow the fulfillment of our dream and desire to work and minister to children in Africa really begins!  It already feels like a dream come true.  I cannot wait to see what God has in store for this year!!!
