We sincerely hope you would consider inviting us again next fall, 2008, to join with us for our 10 year anniversary, in celebrating 10 years of God's love in action changing the lives of many children, young people, families and communities through the work of Cry In The Dark. If you would like to organise a booking for next year please contact Jan Richards, our USA board president, using the contact information on the USA homepage.



We would like to thank Jeff and Jan (pictured above) and the Richards family for having the team to stay in their home through the trip and for all their love, support and hard work making this tour possible.
