Dear Praying Friends,

Here we go AGAIN. Barbara and I leave for Côte d'Ivoire on Tuesday morning the 4th. We will arrive in Abidjan the evening of the 5th and then drive to our new home in Yamoussoukro on Thursday.

Some of you know that our departure was delayed by an accident. I fell and broke my thumb and tore a ligament which required surgery. The last physical therapy session was Friday and the surgeon sent me on my way today.

Now we're on our way. Please pray for our trip and our security in the country. Things are quite tense at the moment and it makes it very difficult to foresee what the eventual outcome will be. All we know is that we can't wait any longer. We have work to do.

Thank you for your prayer and encouragement through these dark days.

Tim & Barbara Downs
