Flying to Kalukembe

A view of the Ngiva airstrip in Angola via Google Earth. This morning (Wed) the team will fly from Ngiva to Kalukembe. a distance of about 250 miles, with an altitude rise of about 1700 feet, as they ascend into the highland plains of central Angola.

They will fly today courtesy of Mission Aviation Fellowship. Since 1946, this outstanding organization has flown missionaries and relief organizations to remote areas all over the world.

Once they arrive, they will settle in to their home for the next 9 days. They will tour the Bible School, hospital, and church and meet the pastors and directors of the facilities. The "Kalukembe Guest House", their sleeping quarters, is an abandoned church with no electricity or running water, where they will sleep on the floor in their mosquito nets.
