Getting Ready


Well here I am just 7 days away from my trip to Kenya. I am of course very excited and a little nervous for this trip. I must first thank GOD for this opportunity. I have had it on my heart to go to Africa for some time now, with no real reason, just a desire to go. There was no real options for me until I was sitting in church (Pullman Foursquare) one Sunday morning when the projectionist put up the wrong screen for the talk but the right screen for me. It was the "Pullman Foursquare is Going to Africa" screen with info about the group going. That message hit me square and I inquired after the service. That split second was the voice of God calling out. The team had already been assembled but they said if I worked hard and fast I could join them. Well with the blessings of God and many of you the funds have been raised, the time off work negotiated, the dog taken care of and the ticket bought, I am going to Africa.

Thanks to my best friend and boss Val, I now also have a sweet new digital camera with enough memory to last a lifetime, so when I can I will be posting pictures. This picture is of Ken who is in charge of this ministry in Garissa and a few of his new converts.

Thank you to all of you who have given prayer and $ to this cause. It is b/c of your generosity and prayer that this team will be going to spread the word of God in the heart of darkness.
