Preparing for Kenya


Partners in Christ -

We are quickly drawing close to our departure date for Kenya. The time has flown by since God presented us with the knowledge that He wanted us to go. I have looked back and been amazed at the blessing that he gave to us through our brothers and sisters in Christ. I have had countless opportunities to tell of His supplying for this trip.

As the time draws near we believe that all the plans for physical preparation have come to fruition. We have our passports, shot records, applications, flight reservations, hotel reservations, supplies packed and clothes stuffed in suitcases. If we don't have it ready..... we didn't know we needed it.

We will fly out of Houston on Sunday at 12:00 pm and expect to arrive in Nairobi on Monday at 6:30 pm. We are still wondering if Josh is going to be able to make it in a confined space for that long. LOL. Once in Nairobi we will spend the night there and fly to the village of Kitale on Tuesday morning. I will send emails as much as possible. From what we understand the computer link is VERY slow. We have been told to not try to upload pictures because it will take too long. We will also try to post on a blog as much as possible. I will get those addresses to you tomorrow or Saturday.

Please continue to pray for us as we travel and spend time with the children. There now 102 orphans at the orphanage. We are excited about being vessels used by Him. Thanks again for your partnership in this. We are blessed by your obedience and generosity and cannot wait to share with you the amazing things that God will do.

In Him -

Chris, Christa, Jacob, Madison, Katelyn, Josh (CCJMKJ)
