Nitty Gritty in Details

So, begins the countdown. Our team is leaving for Kenya this Friday. Thank you for returning to this blog and reading through all. We created this as a way to partner with you. We believe that as you read, you feel more and more connected with those going, the cause behind why they are going, and the heart and passion behind this trip. By being connected, we hope that this will help you remember and better know how to pray for the trip and the Masaai people.

It was only about 6 short weeks ago that Amber, Bobby, Carlos, and Lindsay affirmed by stepping out in faith to go, and the group was formed. This interim time has been busy. With each person from our group, life has kept going and all the hecticness that it contains. People are still working their jobs, spending time with their family, and traveling. With the regular monotony of life comes the all the other stuff too- A/C units going out, refinancing your home, and illness. Despite ALL THIS, these guys have still been preparing for this trip. They have been faithfully trying to prepare for the conference that they will be leading. They have worked at raising the $2500 financial obligation required by each to go on this trip, which is indeed a step in waiting in faith. They have had to update vaccinations- including Typhoid, Yellow Fever, Hepatitis, Tetanus, and Malaria prevention. Ouch- nothing like some shots to get you all excited and the low-grade fever that came with the Yellow Fever vaccine.

THEY ARE EXCITED THOUGH! They are serving in faith!!! They have faith that God will use them despite their inadequacies. They are having faith that God can and will work through them to touch and enlarge the hearts of the Masaai people. They faithfully know that God does all this to reach and grow His kingdom for His Glory!

Please continue to pray for each person going. Pray that all their preparation will continue without any surprises or upset. Pray that the each person attending the conference will be Blessed and grow for God, and that He will continue to prepare their hearts even now.
