Twenty-four days and we are Kenya bound. We are meeting up with the team from North Carolina, who arrive July 11th. All of us are packing our luggage to the brim and even paying extra to bring as many of the supplies that have been donated and collected! One young college minister, three midwives, a lab tech, a young college student and mother of the minister are making this trek! I cannot tell you how excited I am (and have a bit of anxiety as well!) about joining up with this team! Daniel, the college minister, is prepared to teach (along with others in the team) up to 500 ministers and laymen from churches all around Kenya. I can't even imagine what the crowd will look like. Many will be walking many, many miles to come. There is a hunger of learning more about God's word that exists in many third world countries. I can't wait to be a part of this. I'll be taking lots of photographs and documenting as much of this trip as I can. We'll also be expecting up to 300 women for our women's clinic; doing HIV testing, and teaching about various women's issue. In between all of this, we'll be visiting those who live in deplorable conditions in the city slums, loving on them and bringing food gifts with the local ministry there. We'll also be teaching a girl's class and do some crafts with them. Our itinerary is jam-packed, so we ask for lots of prayer... I have learned in this process, that anything is possible. You can have a dream to make a difference and you can have an impact. When the timing is right, you can move forward (with God's help!) and visions can come to fruition. We will be planning a trip a year at this time and welcome anyone who would like to have a life-changing experience, while making a difference in others' lives. Who knows what ramifications this trip will have to future generations? Please pray for those who will be attending these conferences, clinics and classes. And please pray for our "rendezvous divins". :) And THANK YOU to so many, many people here in the states who have contributed to making this trip possible - as well as donating so many items that will go directly into the hands of the people. May God richly reward the work of your hands...
