Great visit with the Meekers!


The Clinic for Kenya is on it's way! It should arrive in Kenya about the first week of September, so we hope to be able to unload it!

We just spent three great days with Pastor Dennis and Deaconess Lorna. They were able to take time out of their whirlwind tour of the U.S. and spend a couple days of "down time" with Mauro and I. What a joy it is to spend time one-on-one with these humble and dedicated servants of God. Dennis enjoyed our easy chair and the boat ride, and Lorna and I went shopping! It is a joy and a pleasure to work so closely with them. We heard all about the children St. John sponsors, and about their mission plans for Kenya. Dennis shared how the many items on the container will probably go all over Kenya and help so many people! They are very excited to receive the Clinic and get it set up and ready to service the widows and orphans in the Nyanza Province.

Sue Wood had the Africa Mission Team all over for a wonderful dinner! Even though she had NO power most of the day! Kirk and Renate Radford were able to join us (Kirk went on the first trip), and it was great to see them again.

We talked about our upcoming trip and the plans Lorna has for us. She said there won't be much time to relax, she has lots of work for us to do! We can't wait!

Our team leaves Sept. 22nd and returns on Aug 9th. Watch for the blog posts and remember to share your comments!
