Hey all! Jambo! Well, we made it. All is well. Here's a rundown so far...We flew to London first...then down East of Cairo...over the Sahara Desert...over the Sudan...and into Nairobi. Pastor Irungu was waiting for us at the airport. We stayed the night in Nairobi, then today we drove to Nakuru. It was an amazing drive through the Great Rift Valley. We've included a few pics to get ya started. Not everyone is in the group picture, but it's the best we have so far. Also included are a few shots from our drive. And yes...those animals are roaming free along the road. I think everyone is still dealing with a bit of culture shock yet. It IS a completely different world here. It's going to be an amazing time. Tomorrow will be our first visit to the church. More updates then.
My heart swells with joy for you all. Thanks for including the pictures of your drive. Well, Holly and Alexa got their dreams fulfilled in seeing those Zebras.

Hi, all!
ReplyDeleteGrazyna and Renata, I hope you're enjoying Africa as much as I did, even though you're on the other side :)
God bless,
Uncle Mike
I hope you had a great Wednesday night service! We've been praying for God to send mighty signs and wonders your way. Just like in Acts 4:13b, They marveled and they recognized that they [you] had been with Jesus (Amplified version), so we are expecting to hear great things.
ReplyDeleteI realize you're all probably very tired (seeing as how it''s ten at night over there right now and you're probably still praying for people) but please know that you are iin our thoughts and prayers, and we have asked God to keep his angels at watch over you. We will be looking forward to your next update when you are able to make it. Look out for the rain tomorrow! (Or is that in Nairobi only?)
