2009 Kenya Team gearing up!

Nine days and counting! We depart on September 23rd at 4:00 pm. The flight is over 16 hours, accomplished in two segments. First a stop in Amsterdam and then on to Nairobi. Kenya here we come!

This year's mission team consists of Deaconess (Dcs.) Linda Nobili, Kirk Radford, Rockie Brandenburg, Karen Morrell (currently living in the Netherlands), Elizabeth Nelson, and two 'new-bees', Sue Wood and Shani Stadnika! Today we start packing the extra bags we're taking filled with donations of school supplies, small stuffed animals, kids clothes, first aid supplies, and the like. Can't wait to get started!

Donations have been pouring in, thanks be to God, and the expenses for our entire trip will be covered. We want to thank everyone who contributed finances, toys, clothes, and prayers! We couldn't do it without you! May the Lord return to you double what you have done for us and the people of Kenya.

Please check back here for updates. We will try to post as often as possible. Also please keep the people of Kenya, Pastor Dennis and Dcs. Lorna Meeker and us in prayer. We ask for prayers of protection, patience, and productivity for the saving Gospel of Christ. Kenya is experiencing severe drought conditions and we have been told to expect electricity every other day.

Blessings! Dcs. Linda
