Kenya Update #1

Well, the journey has finally ended. We arrived in Eldoret this morning just before 8:00am local time. For the most part our journey was uneventful...that is until the last leg of the journey. I had a camcorder and the power cords to my iPhone and MacBook stolen from a suitcase. It's only stuff but it is frustrating, nonetheless. For the most part the only real issue we are facing is sleepiness. I think most of us are already acclimated to the change in time zone, but the four hours of sleep we got last night just wasn't enough.

We have just had our first meet-and-greet with the 20 plus pastors who will be attending the training. These men are true servants who have a passion for serving God in every part of their everyday routines. They are truly inspirational. We are excited about our opportunity to get to to know them, to teach them and to learn from them this week. We will begin our drill training this afternoon.

Please pray for the Kenyan pastors who are still making their way to Eldoret from some very remote (and dangerous) regions of Kenya. In case any of you are wondering, our team was not yet in Nairobi when the Anglican church there was bombed on Sunday. We are all safe and now very far away from any potential danger.

Thanks for all the prayers. Keep 'em coming.

Soli Deo gloria,
Michael
