End of 2009

Hey Everyone,

I hope you are all well, enjoying the holiday season, and are getting ready to rest during some time off. I am currently back in the USA for those of you who didnt know. I've really been enjoying my time in Colorado and California. Ive had a bit of time to reflect on the past year and even though it has gone fast, it has been a great year.

I'm very thankful for 2009, for the opportunity to have been in Cape Town, for you all helping to make that possible, for God carrying me through many tough and trying times, and for Him doing and showing me many great things. I also feel the excitement to be returning in 2010.

Part of the reason that I am home is that I am fund raising to cover my travel and living expenses in 201o, so that I will be able to continue my work with Africa Jam. We have big plans for next year and I would like to invite you to continue to be apart of that. I will continue to need those who are willing to continue communication and who are willing to support me financially and in prayer. I appreciate any form of support you would give.

If you feel led to support me financially you can make checks payable to Arvada Covenant Church with "Ryan DeCook - Africa Jam" as the memo of the check. The address is:
Arvada Covenant Church
5555 Ward Road
Arvada, CO 80002

I am also pasting a link below to a video that my roommate made. He is a talented director and had to make a documentary for his film school. He asked to make me and some of my experience in Cape Town the subject of his film. I thought I would pass it along to give you some more visuals of where I am spending my time. The video is split into two parts, so if you just click the link below and then click the picture in the gray box, it should start playing the 1st part and link automatically to the 2nd part. Hope you enjoy it. Peace
Ryan
