Kenya / Sudan Team arrive in Africa

On this day we will wake up to other smells, other sounds, other languages, other food, other air. I pray on this day as we wake in the home of Chris and Irene Okuna that I may open my hands and my heart. Africa is not so concerned with the task list or the time. May our team release these as well and receive what ever it is that the Holy Spirit has for us. For me, I pray that Christ may meet me in my fear of not living up something and of relating to new people and give me the freedom to be fully present with our hosts. May the gospel rest visibly and lightly in me.

Chris and Irene are missionaries commissioned by MVC for two areas of Ministry there Nairobi. First Love Kenya is an orphanage and they also run a Community School that provides education and 2 daily meals to children in the slum of Kibera.

Pray for my family. While my children would never admit it in public they will miss me at home and may be fearful about my safety. The weekends will feel strange for them while I am away.
