We are closer to the Brussels flight

We have eaten and are closer to boarding to Brussels.

We are in New Jersey!

Leg one, check. We are now in NJ

At the airport

Here is the sleepy team, we are enjoying an all American breakfast at
Starbucks. Please pray, we leave on United at 5:55! On to Newark.

We leave tomorrow

Saturday morning at 3:45 am we meet at PDX. Please pray for some
specific travel details:
1. We all get checked through to Nairobi, without people getting
"dropped". This has happened in the past, ticketing is SO complicated
these days, so please cover this detail in prayer. We have always been
able to "fix" it by spending an hour or so at the ticket counter...
2. Luggage arrives with us. We hope to see all our bags when we arrive.
3. Pray for hearts open to people and conversations we may have as we travel.
4. Pray for family members we leave behind, that they would be
encouraged in Christ. In a real sense, they go with us in Spirit
Thanks and please be checking, we will be updating as we get chances
to connect to the internet.
Blessings to all!

Jeff, that the Lord will be help Jeff at work as he readies to be gone. Pray also for his wife Mandy , she will be at home with their 3 young boys while Jeff is gone. Pray that he continues to heal from his recent medical procedures and praise that the doctors noticed his need and took care of it before we left.

Sue, pray for Steve as he will be home at work and keeping tabs on both of their mothers with medical issues. Sue's mom is trusting in Jesus please pray her health holds steady. Steve's mom should be released from the hospital this week and goes to skilled nursing, pray for her body to fight the infection from her recent bypass surgery.

For travel, please pray for safety and that we make our connections.

Pray that our luggage is there when we arrive in Nairobi, that nothing is lost or stolen.

Pray for safety in the country, there is currently some unrest.

Kym and Shel, please pray for them as they finish details preparing for our arrival.

Dorobo people, pray that we will be able to help the pastors as they reach out to their people and that we will not be a burden to them, but a delight.

Pray that the Lord will be honored and lifted up in Kenya as we minister with these dear African brothers and sisters.

Thanks for praying!!!!

Travel warning for Kenya

Please pray for Kenya! There is currently increased terrorist activity
from an Al Quida affiliate. Pray for families who have lost loved ones
in the attacks, and for those who have been injured.
Pray that Kenyan police will find and shut down these bombings.
Pray for the salvation of the Muslim terrorists around the world who
believe that killing and destroying honors God. Open their eyes to
this deception.
Pray for Shel and Kym who live and minister there, that they will be
safe from this evil, and their ministry can continue.
Finally, pray for our
team, a state department travel warning is obviously going to create
some anxiety as we travel. Pray for safety and that the Lord will
guard us with His peace and presence. Pray that this obstacle opens
chances for us to share the gospel!
