Getting Ready to Go

Hello,

It is six days until Amy and I head off to Kenya. At the advice of Aunt Di we have created this blog to post to (?daily) while we are in Africa to allow our loved ones in the US to know how God is using us and changing us.

We had a wonderful experience at church this morning. We visited a local church (our third time) and were amazed at the blessing we received in so many ways. Unbenowst to us, a small mission team of young adults sent from the church to Uganda returned last Sunday and was reporting back to the church their experiences. It was encouraging and inspiring. Afterwards we spoke with one of the young women who gave such practical and timely advice. This was all truly from God.
During the service we felt that our trip was not "bathed" in prayer as it should be. As we were talking with some new friends we met this morning the senior pastor approached us and introduced himself to us. We spoke briefly then he led our small group in prayer for our trip. He then asked to have the trip shared with the congregation next Sunday as we will be arriving in Kenya. What an amazing blessing, to have our trip prayed for by the body of Christ!

We appreciate everyone's prayers...especially this week as we know there will be great spiritual warfare to hinder our plans and desire to go.

Thank you for following along with us on this journey through this blog.
