Meet the P82 Team

I will not be traveling solo this trip.  Several P82 board members along with friends and Kenya advocates from our first strategic partner church will join me.  This team is yet another affirmation of God's sovereignty and great plans for Project 82.  Only HE could have orchestrated the perfect team to send...
Meet Ferrell Coppedge... Ferrell is the P82 Chairman of the Board and has dedicated a tremendous amount of time to launching this ministry.  He spent 35 years in the banking and leveraged finance industry, and is presently Western Region President for Regions Business Capital.  His professional responsibilities require significant time, travel and commitment and yet he manages to pursue his passion for Kenya with equal dedication.  His passion is also quite contagious as he has been the catalyst for many to take their first mission trip to Kenya.  The following comments from Ferrell may help you understand why...
"God has used Kenya to enrich and transform my life and my family's since my initial trip in 2007. Libby and I have since developed many treasured friendships and none are more precious than those with the children. On my first trip, our group prayed a prayer that God would break our hearts with the things that break His.  He faithfully answered my prayers and has done much, much more by reingniting the faith and passion of a 60 year old through becoming a part of Project 82's  ministry of love, compassion, hope and mercy for the  orphans of Kenya."    
More reflections from other team members to come!
