Blog pages are a tool we have provided to you to be able to keep people up to date on your journey as well as a way to connect with each other. I know most of you stay connected through Facebook, but we would also like you to be updating your personal blog page on a regular basis. The blog page is also a way in which people can support you. So, if you’re not directing people to your blog page and keeping it interesting, then you may be missing out on some support as well.
As you prepare to go, we ask that you post regularly and comment on the team page as well as others on your team. We have also asked that you post an “I Believe” article on the team page. Some of you have not done that yet. While on the field we want you to put up weekly updates to keep people informed so they can be praying for you and supporting you. Blogging is an integral part of the program and it has proven very beneficial.
Below I’ve listed some of you who have not posted an “I Believe” article or put your Bio up or posted anything on your page. Please make that happen so we can get to know you better. Thanks!

Please do some work on these this weekend. I appreciate you guys and can’t wait to meet each one of you. God has some great things in store for each of you.
Something I’ve been sort of concerned about after realizing that practically everyone seems to have a laptop.
I definitely do not own a laptop.
Will this be a problem for blogging on the field?
To Blair: No, there are several internet cafe’s in town that you will walk past almost daily. In fact I would not recommend bringing a laptop, seeing that you will not have a ton of chances to get online regularly. And it could be stolen at home, ministry, church, the beach, and pretty much anytime it is not in your lap. The people that brought them last year did not use them that much, they just went to the internet cafe’.
Blair, at least the first three months, you could always use someone on the teams laptop. If you ever need mine… you are very welcome to use it. Jest let me know if you ever need it.
re:blogging, I’m trying to get mine up and running and I can’t figure out how to post a bio and such. It keeps telling me that it’s not configured yet.
What am I doing wrong?
thx
Thanks guys!
Aghhh! I cant wait.
How much does internet cost at the internet cafe? What’s the break down? How much per minute/hour?
internet is about R100 for 6hrs. Which is like $12.
Loretta,
The best deal is just to buy a 3-hour card, which is R100, or about US$14. A one hour card is half that, and if you just pay per minute it’s about R1.
Tag’s right, I’m wrong. Sorry for the confusion.
I tried to figure out the I believe assignment because it was never sent to me orignally. Layne tried to then send it to me but it wouldn’t open. How could i get at that? Is it still necessary to write?
