Arrived Safely

We arrived safe, sound and very tired at our final destination at 1:30 a.m. Kenya time. That would be 5:30 in WI so our total travel time was 29.5 hours. Needless to say we headed for our beds as soon as we could!

With the exception of a 30 minute delay in Nairobi we are so thankful that all departures were on time and each flight went smoothly. That's not to say that the trip was uneventful, but each of us experienced the trip differently so I'll leave those stories to tell when we return. :)

All luggage arrived with the exception of 1 piece of equipment we were bringing for the national pastor who oversees New Life in Bomani. It is possible that it's late arrival may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Stay tuned!

This morning it is over cast and windy. Temperatures are expected in the low 80's so it's a pretty typical winter day in Mombasa. While we are enjoying the heat the Kenyans are cold! It is the beginning of many contrasts we will experience in the next 9 days. Thank you for taking this journey with us by praying that God will be at work in us and through us as we experience all He has in store for us!

  3. Praise God that you are all there safely. Right now I'm thinking you are getting your first meeting with the baby class of Bomani. I can almost hear the songs those precious children are singing. All my prayers are with you. God will do a work in each of your hearts. I love you all.

  4. We were excited to hear from Pastor Guy, shortly after picking up the Poland Team, that you all had arrived safely. Have thought of you often today and have been praying for each one of you.
