Our Last Week In Eldoret

Daily trips to the market, Interviews with Teachers, French Toast for Breakfast, we often find ourselves talking about movies and food from home, but I think when the day comes for us to return, it will be the hardest part. Please remember to pray for each of us.

Briana: Been feeling sick off and on (like all of us- the food). Preached wonderfully, even though people laughed at her introduction because "Briana" is the name of a Tribe. She's been teaching in the school and refreshing each of us with her gentle nature.

Alex: Serenading us nightly on the Acoustic Guitar, passionately playing the part of Jesus during our daily crusades. He's also enjoyed teaching in the school and learning to wash clothes by hand.

Esther: A stern teacher to 7th Graders, she plays with the children and reads "The Silver Chair" during Matatu rides.

Hannah: God is really challenging her, and using her in the Crusades, as the main "tempter" in the alcohol scene. She has also enjoyed teaching in the school and shopping with "Mama" Rachael Sarara.

Rachael: She has been so bold to try different things and stepping far out of her comfort zone. We refer to it as sky-diving in accordance with a prophetic word from our prayer meeting before departure.

Ariel: She always seems to have a child on her lap, or else she and Hannah are teaching kids how to play thumb-war. She seems at home here and predicts a tearful return to America.

Grace and Russ: Constantly serving, with the cameras, the bags and preaching powerfully, they deserve extra appreciation for being a parental presence on this trip. Grace is constantly in awe of this beautiful country and Russ asks the best questions.

Amanda and North: Learning and growing and finding joy in the experience of our team members. This trip will certainly exceed our expectations of the impact it will have on the lives of our team, kenyans and americans as well.

Thankyou for your prayers. We need them more than anything.
