Bono to appear on idol

I might actually be interested to watch a show…

American Idol Africa Special: ‘Idol Gives Back’
Bono is due to meet with the six remaining finalists to talk with them about the work of ONE: The Campaign to Make Poverty History and how they and the show’s audience can help in the fight against extreme poverty.
The ‘Idol Gives Back’ special will run over two nights in the US this week, Tuesday and Wednesday. Bono’s chat with the finalists will feature briefly on the Wednesday evening show.
The special will raise money for Charity Projects Entertainment Fund (CPEF) and other organisations that help children and young people in extreme poverty.

Erin heading back to Nigeria

From Erin Rigsby:

Yes! Tomorrow (Monday) I fly to Nigeria! What a journey this has been. Thank you for being a part of my life.
Prayer points for the journey:

1) I have 10 boxes that need to make it on the plane with me – full of goodies for the kids and my stuff, too. Although British Airways says it should not be a problem, I know things can change when I get to the desk. Please pray that the person who helps me is in a good mood and that all goes smoothly.
2) I fly from Austin – Chicago – London – Abuja, Nigeria. The total travel is about 40 hours and I arrive in Nigeria at 10:40pm Tuesday night, Texas time. Please pray that I will be able to sleep on the flights.
3) When I arrive in Abuja, a SIM driver will pick me up, along with another SIM missionary couple and we will drive 3 1/2 hours to my home in Jos! The roads are dangerous (traffic and other things 🙂 so please do pray for safety.
4) On Thursday at 10:00am TX time – I get to see my boys!!! They are holding a praise and worship party for me and I am so happy to see them!!!!

Thank you for your love and prayers. I will send an email out in about a week or so – from Nigeria.
Praise God, from Whom all blessing flow. He reigns!
