Well, the time has come - tomorrow is the big day!  Our team flies out tomorrow, and will arrive in Kenya on Thursday after noon (eastern time).  That's a lot of flying and layover-ing!! 

Please be praying for our safety and health as we travel over the next two days, and that jet lag won't slow us down too much when we get there.  Pray that we will be available and ready to learn whatever God wants to teach us and be used in whatever way He wants, throughout this adventure. 
Some of the projects/activities we will be a part of over the next month in Kenya - please pray for these as the Lord leads you! -
* Reading to and interacting with children at school
* A "worship camp" teaching children and youth praise dance, songs, and drama as means of worship
* Evangelistic crusade
* Hanging out with the teen girls at the orphanage
* Counseling

THANK YOU for your prayers! 
I've been so blessed by all the people who have donated financially toward the trip -- my plane ticket AND most of the food/transportation cost have been paid for by the donations!  When I sent out my fundraiser letters, I was not expecting to get that much, but it just shows what God can do, and I'm definitely blessed and thankful for it!  I'm also thankful for all the wonderful encouragement and prayer support that my family, friends, and even strangers have given me.  The small group Bible study I"m part of prayed over me this week, and they also put together a beautiful book for me, with a message of encouragement for each day of the trip.  I"m excited to read that starting tomorrow!  :-) 

We are supposed to have internet access during most of our time in Kenya, but I don't know if I'll have time to get on HSB or not.  We'll see!  I really appreciate your prayers.  God bless you all, and if I don't get to update while I"m there, then I'll "see" you all in a month!
