Off to Beacon

In fifteen minutes our driver will arrive and we will load our vans with all of the team items we packed a week ago Thursday. We will drive 40 minutes outside Nairobi to Ongata Rongai, the town that Beacon serves. As preparation for this first day at Beacon, last night we discussed as a team what people are looking forward to experiencing today. The responses were varied. Some are simply excited to see what the training center looks like, while others look forward to seeing Jane once more. All in all, our team has a sense of excitement about beginning our work in earnest.

We will certainly need to hit the ground running. Our current schedule has us traveling to Bissil, a small Masai town 2 hours outside Nairobi, on Tues to hold a medical camp on Weds. Much of our time today and tomorrow will likely go toward preparing for this upcoming project. Please pray that we would be able to accomplish much in these next few days-- both with the tangible work of setting up for the medical camp and also for the intangible relational elements. We truly desire to connect at a deep level with our Kenyan brothers and sisters, so that we might really be one body of believers united in Christ. Our team is very excited about what God is going to teach us through our time among his Kenyan children.
