Today is the Day!

Well, this is it; my bags are packed (to the max) and I'm ready to go. I head out with my team later today, around 4:30. The journey will be roughly 20 hours total (really not too bad, considering how far we're actually going!).

Last night we gathered at Chris' house, in State College, to pack some additional things we will be taking over for the students. We went over all the small details that Chris had organized and needed to remind us of. The Lord really has blessed us with a great leader, and I'm so thankful for all the work he has put in to plan this trip for our team. I'm thrilled beyond belief, and I think it might be starting to sink in, that this is actually happening. It's been a long time coming; after all, we have known we would be doing this since the beginning of November last year.

A few things you could be praying about:

• safe and smooth travels
• team unity and cohesion throughout the trip
• for the students; that they would be open and receptive to the Gospel, and that we truly would be able to form lasting relationships with them
• for the Navigator ministry at the University of Nairobi - they're very small right now, and much of what we do will potentially be how the ministry is run in the future; that we would be able to do what the Lord has planned for the ministry there, and that we would just be the hands and feet to get it started the way He wants it to be

Thanks again to everyone, for your continued prayer and financial support; I wouldn't be able to do this work if it weren't for the Lord placing you all in my lives. I love you all, and cannot wait to keep you updated throughout the summer!
