One last update from ZA!

**South Africa team will arrive at LAX in the afternoon at 1:oo PM on Sunday August 21rst!**


Hey everyone! Meghan here...Brent and I just wanted to each have one last update from ZA! I want to thank each and everyone of you for your prayers and Support while we have been in South Africa. It has been so encouraging every night during our debrief to read your comments, scriptures and love from across the ocean.

Please continue to pray today as it will be an emotional day for us. We will be having one last morning devo as a team and then cleaning the retreat center along with the grade 9s and 10s [Bridges has an amazing program of community service with each of the grades- today is the day for community service where they serve around their local area- the 9s and 10s are helping us today!]

Then we will be having a closing time with the Academy kids. We have been so blessed and have learned so much from these students. It is beyond word and description.

Please pray for safe travels and rest along our journey. Thank you again for EVERYTHING.

Brent here, my official last blog update from South Africa. I think I can speak for everyone and say that we can't believe it's already our last day here! We hit the ground running and time just seemed to fly by here! The retreat center is currently busy with everyone packing their bags, showering one last time, and cleaning cleaning cleaning. We're getting ready for our last devotion then for our last lunch with the students.

We have a photo slide show planned (from of our AMAZING team photographer Jess! We easily have over 1,000+ photos to choose from!) Following, we will say our final goodbyes with the students and head to Cape Town International airport where we will depart for Heathrow.

Please pray for our travels and that the team could get some much needed rest on the planes.

We want to thank everyone for all of your encouraging comments, commitments to prayer, and for everyone's support for the team before and during this trip. YOU ALL are one of the biggest reasons we are here and we feel so blessed and privileged to have your support.

I know we are all looking forward to see all of our family and friends and sharing with them all of our stories, pictures, and memories from what has been the trip of a lifetime!

Goodbye South Africa! You have made a lasting impression in our minds and in our hearts. We hope to see you someday again!
