We're getting really excited about our departure this Saturday afternoon. We're done with our teaching duties and are now concentrating on packing for our two month adventure in Kenya. Many last minute details have been handled well by the Lord:
* a family will stay in our home for the time we're away
* our African 4WD vehicle, sitting for nearly 2 years in the village, is being repaired and starting well!
* gifts of blessing for 100+ orphans in Kipkaren have been put together by the children of a local church; it looks like all items will fit in our suitcases just fine
* we feel God's power, purpose, and PEACE as we pray together for how we will serve
Please pray for the following:
* humility and servant attitudes
* minds that can focus and grasp a new language (Kiswahili for Mark, Kalenjin for Cathy)
* discernment as we seek our role and purpose, especially in how we might represent Christ to the community
* health and safety as we enter a rural setting
* good communication via internet and cellphone with family and prayer team in the USA - we struggled a lot with cellphone connections in the village last year
We will try to write weekly posts on our blog to keep you up to date on events in Kipkaren this summer!
