Well, our bags are packed (or at least half packed, with the rest strewn across our living room floor), and we're almost ready to go! In 24 hours, we will be on a bus making our way to Chicago O'Hare for our 1:42 pm flight to Detroit. We have a very tight layover in Detroit, so your prayers would be appreciated! Pray especially for the weather in the Chicago area, as O'Hare is notorious for shutting down if so much as a drop of rain falls (OK, maybe not, but it certainly seems that way!). Once in Detroit, we'll board a plane for our first 8+ hour leg to Amsterdam. Then we'll board another 8+ hour flight destined for Nairobi, where we'll be greeted by our friends and drivers, Jurim and Anthony. Thank you to all of our supporters for making this trip possible for the 2009 team. Your outpouring of prayers, encouragement and financial gifts have been overwhelming. With deep gratitude, you will be in our minds and hearts as we serve our friends in Kenya. We look forward to sharing this experience with you...
Baraka tele (Many blessings)!
The '09 Kenya Team
I am beyond excited for all of you to be able to make this trip to Kenya and serve God's people in another capacity! I will keep you in my prayers and will be thinking of you guys the whole time. I know you will make a difference and that God will use you well:)
