It is Friday September 26th, and we are putting the final pieces in place for the trip to Atlanta for the Catalyst Conference October 8-10th.  Amy and I (kids are staying with Grandma Linda) will be flying into Atlanta on the 7th, helping Land of a Thousand Hills with their setup, and then volunteering with LOTH on the 8th to share the story of how Rwandan people are experiencing restoration and redemption, coming together through the growing of coffee. Thursday and Friday we will be listening to all the great speakers, and Thursday night is full of meetings with other ministries, bloggers, and the like!

We just finished the design for the new shirts we will be printing for Catalyst last night. (see image)  These will be printed in small quantities this week for a test run to see how people respond to them before we print a larger quantity for the tour with Wavorly in November. (see my post on The Difference a Year Makes)

So… the flights are booked, rental car reserved, and its off to see what God has in store for us this year.  We appreciate your prayers this next week as we continue discussions with those we will be meeting there.  Please also be praying for either a renter or buyer for our house, as we’d love to get the house situation put to bed by early October.  We have been packing and moving things into storage at my mom’s, as we will only have basically 3 weeks after returning from Catalyst before heading to Arizona to kick off the Wavorly tour.  That makes for a lot of loose ends to still tie up in a relatively short time!
