First Full Day In Kenya

Happy 4th!

I haven't heard from our team since they arrived, but no doubt it's been a bit of a whirl-wind since they arrived and likely did not get settled in until late at night. It's also likely that Gary has tried to contact me to give me an update on the team as well as on Diane and Grace. But I left my phone in the car, and my son has the car. :(

So... if all things went as planned, they got up this morning and, after devotions and breakfast, went to the main CMIA orphanage in Langata (Karen district of Nairobi) to tour the facility, meet the children, and receive an orientation from the Hatleys. At the end of the day, they probably went back to the dorms where they are staying, rested up, had dinner, and then spent some time in worship, in Scripture, and in and prayer. Perhaps they spent a little down time before heading off to bed, which is probably where they're at now. As I write this it's about 10:35 PM in Nairobi.

Tomorrow morning about 7:00 (9:00 PM tonight for us) they'll wake up, have their quiet times, eat, and head off to worship with Church on the Rock in Langata. Each of the team members will get a chance to share something in the worship service, and I believe Gary may be preaching! So be praying for them.

During the worship service, the team will also be presenting the pastor with a plaque as a gift from our church to their church as a symbol of our relationship in the Lord.

I'f I receive any word today, I'll make sure to post another update.

Bye for now.
