Jambo (Hello) Everyone!
Well we arrived in Kenya on Friday. It was a long trip from Seattle to Chicago to London to Nairobi. Our only difficulty so far is some lost luggage (3 Bags). We've recieved word that 1 of them has arrived, but 2 bags are still missing. Please pray for that. Milton and I will have to return to Nairobi to retrieve them when the come. We met Milton and his son Linus at the airport. They took us by Matatu along the 7 hour route to Eldoret.
Although we were exhausted, we couldn't wait to explore and so Sarara (the oldest son) walked us to the new school building under construction. All the materials were purchased by funds raised from Life Center Christian school in Tacoma and the place is beautiful, though incomplete. About 2 dozen neighborhood kids followed us and we taught them duck duch goose on the grass behind the school.
On Saturday (our rest day) we returned to the shool and also visited the mission base/apartment building that is also under construction. Our team had sent $500 ahead for the construction of this base and although it was not finished in time for us to use, it did build an entire 3 units, each with living room, kitchen, bathroom and 2 bedrooms.
Today is sunday morning and we will be performing our human video for the congregation of maranatha church here in Kipkaren (a suburb of Eldoret). Amanda will be preaching and this afternoon we'll likely be interviewing Milton and doing some more exploring around town. We will also be preparing to move to Bungoma tomorrow or Tuesday.
Greatest Prayer Needs:
-2 more lost bags (Grace and Russ)
-That the Human Video would communicate clearly and God would move on peoples' hearts
-That all of our audio/video equipment would hold up
-That God would keep us healthy and unified
