We wanted to share a picture we just received from Pastor Martin - this is a picture of all of the kids standing on the piece of land we helped purchase...why is this particular piece of grass so special? This is where we pray we are able to build an orphanage for these beautiful children! Maybe not this summer...but we are trusting God and walking step by step alongside of Him in faith that we will be able to help Pastor Martin build an orphanage and a home for these kids soon! What an amazing thought! And what a blessing to be part of something like this!
Well...our trip is coming closer and closer! We leave for Kenya on August 8th - flying through Amsterdam and landing in Nairobi on August 9th. Our time in Kenya will be filled with working at the school, visiting families of the school children in their homes, some construction and physical labor and Pastor Martin is planning a soccer tournament for 500 youth the last Saturday we are in Eldoret...WOW! And we barely know how to play soccer...we may have to ask Kevin's brother, Bruce, for some tips when they visit us in July! We will fly hom from Nairobi...tracing our path back through Amsterdam on August 21st, arriving in Minneapolis on August 22nd.
Our team has been blessed and overwhelmed by the support, encouragement and prayers for our trip - we absolutely feel your prayers and need them so much as we prepare for this amazing trip. Thank you for your interest and questions about our trip - it's so much fun sharing with you and we will do our very best to post pictures and blog updates along the way!
