Home safe and sound

Diane and Grace are still in the air heading west, but everyone else is back home safely. Four flights and over 10,000 miles in the last day and a half, so we were all a little ripe, and very tired. I think we all miss the kids at GCC already. Everyone has expressed an iterest in returning as well. We will try to have a presentation about our trip during a church service at Grace Community Church on July 26th. Stayed tuned and we will try to keep this blog updated. thanks for following. I'll try to recap more later, but I am too tired now to write anything of any value at this time.

Sorry for the lack of posts. Poor reception in our safari tents. having a great time. seeing lots and eating more. 1 last game drive before we head back to Nairbi to be with the kids for the aftrernoon, then off to the airport for our flights back to Seattle.

Flight Correction

The flight information given below is incorrect. The team arrives at Seatac this Friday on Northwest Air, Flight #215, at 1:53 PM.

Day 10 - Rest

After a very full day on Sunday with the church in Langata, Nairobi, our team spent today (Monday) resting and doing a little shopping. After an exhausting schedule and many hour of ministry, I'm sure it was a much appreciated and well deserved rest!

It is now 5:45 Tuesday morning, and pretty soon they will be getting up to tkae a small plane west of Nairobi and over the mountains to the Masi Mara for a couple days of safari and debriefing. On Thursday afternoon they will return to Grace Children's Centre in Langata where they will treat the children to a pizza party before heading to the aiport to board their flight home.

If you would like to join me at SeaTac in welcoming them back, their flight comes in this Friday at 1:58 pm, Alaska #29.

Good morning from Kenya. Although it is saturday evening in America. it is sunday morning here. we are slowly preparing for church. it is an all day event for kenyans. last week we were done about 4pm. Should be a good day.
We have two more days to receive emails before we are off to safari. So far we have only had a few. Pastor Kirk has been encouraging us, but the team would love to hear from you. Sports, weather, traffic, anything! the address again is cmiacotr@wananchi.com . Have a great day.

I wish you could hear what I am hearing right now. My team has been asked to do some songs in church tomorrow. With all of the talented women on the team it sounds angelic. Kyle and Luke can hold their own too.

Day 7 - Sports Camp Part 1

Well I just got a phone call from the team, but it was a quick call because we were cut off I think due to a low battery on their end. I did manage to hear enough to know that all were well but tried from a long and fulfilling day of ministry. You can read more about it in Gary's posting below.

Tomorrow it's sports camp part 2 which will include many children from the surrounding community. Please pray that many kids turn out, that sports camp goes well and with minimal injuries, that the Gospel is well communicated, that children come to know Christ, and that everyone has a great time!

Until tomorrow.

Kirk
