Our team arrived after nearly 30 hours of travel to the same hospitality we’ve come to know from our Kenyan hosts. After collecting our luggage – and we cannot overstate the importance of this: all our luggage arrived with us – we were taken to our accommodations for the night.

It was 12:30 AM when we arrived but our lodge had a delicious meal prepared for us so we could all go to bed with a full stomach and try to get some sleep. Despite a 12 hour time difference almost all of the team got a good, if short, nights sleep.

Sunday morning we traveled to our host ministry’s church for a true African church service. That means lots of exuberant worship, imagine Zumba with a stirring message delivered from the heart.

We’ve now made the two hour drive to our base of operations for the coming week.  Clinics began Monday morning so please be in prayer for the team as we work to meet the many needs. More to come… Until then we give thanks.
