Countdown to Summit!

Please see latest update from Terry Henritze below. She had severe altitude sickness yesterday so that is why she says yesterday was a hard day..it was hard for her..the group is doing great! I have been praying Isaiah 40 " The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Please pray for the group!!! I think they start the final ascent at 4:30 PM Tuesday Atlanta time.





News from Terry Henritze on Mt Kilimamjaro (13,800 feet)...





Awesome day today! Yesterday I was a zero and today a 10! This has been the best
day yet as we climbed Baranco wall with the Summit as our back drop to Karango
camp. Sunny,cool, and light breeze. Absolutely magnificent scenery at about
13,800 ft. We will head to baraff camp tomorrow morning (about 5 hrs) at about
15,500 ft. We will try and sleep and head out at midnight for the highest point
on the summit Uhuru Peak. 14 hour day tomorrow!!! We can see it from camp. It is
so neat to be high above the clouds on Mt Kilimanjaro! Thanks for all
the prayers! They have been felt. We are all encouraged. A great group of kids
and guides. Such a wonderful-genuine people. We will miss them very much!!
Can't wait to see everybody Saturday!
Love,
