I believe you may have a duffle bag that I can fit into and thus avoid paying airfare. Just make sure I get a few water bottles and a flashlight so I can read the inflight magazine.

But seriously, have a great trip!

You know I'm joking , right?

Well, the org went right on without us, without even blinking. How 'bout that?

We did meet with 3 UPC missionary couples while we were in Kenya last year - just catching up, eating and visiting and having a great time. Does that count?????

If I could stuff you in there, I would!

We are taking four extra pieces of luggage full of gifts and clothing for the Love & Truth pastors & their families. They are all so poor, but so very loving and humble. I wish everyone could go at least once.

Actually it's by Tecklemariam Gezehagne who used to be UPC, but they disfellowshipped him I think over some strange doctrine.

What strange doctrine was that? Did it have any thing to do with salvation?

I think is was the Divine Flesh doctrine, but I could be mistaken. There are a lot of people on here who could tell you for sure. Personally, from everything I've heard, I think he's done a tremendous job in Ethiopia. But I don't really know how he believes; all I know is what I've heard.

Yes, it was the Divine Flesh doctrine issue. It was discussed at the '03 GC...the UPC lost a great man of God that day...sad.

From what I understand.........they believe that Jesus was not from the actually flesh lineage of Mary, but that He was a divine creation by God inserted into Mary's womb. Does that make sense?
