Mogadishu, Somalia
Leaving for Mogadishu on the 12th. Lots of fighting currently in the capitol. Can't enter the redzones (Bakara Market and the port areas). The word we are receiving is that we will be picked up by a group of four gunmen and then taken to the compound near the national stadium.
The day after we arrive we will travel south to help with the tsunami effort, which surprisingly even effected Somalia. Nearly 300 dead and no aid in the area to help with the troubles. We also have an appointment with a Sultan and we plan to share the gospel to him and his household. The 21st should be hectic with the new government making its move back to Mogadishu from Kenya and street wars are expected. Always wanted to go to Somalia and it is in our opinion one of most difficult place in the world to share the gospel (danger-wise) ranked evenly with North Korea.
