Finally

Today's the day; after more than a year of planning and praying, we are leaving for Kenya. We are all feeling excited, anxious and ready to go! We will meet at New Life Dresher around 2:30 with all of our stuff and go to the airport together. If you were not at church on Sunday and did not get to hear what we will be doing here is a small glimpse into what has been planned for us:
we are split into 3 teams; 1 team will be building a playground on the grounds of a church which houses a preschool; 2nd team will be working alongside teachers in the preschool presenting a short VBS; 3rd team will go with Lois Carr to another site and work with children and mothers offering medical care. Most of our work will take place in the Mukuru slum which is outside of Nairobi.

But we look forward to lots of time for conversations with the people of Kenya and the especially for me, the children. We go with open hearts to love them and learn from them, and bring with us the love of Jesus.

Please continue to pray for us!
