Day 1 & 2 In A Foreign Land

We are here in Africa. After 23 hours of traveling we arrived safely in Nairobi, Kenya on Saturday the 8th at approximately 8:40pm. After waiting for our visas for 45ish minutes (or as josh says “forever”) we got our luggage and went to the ACK Guesthouse for the night.
On Sunday we went to NPC Karen Church, where we got to participate in awesome Kenyan worship, and hear a stunning message on staying single and being satisfied. Sam even got a chance to sing one of her original songs. After Church we fellowshipped with many other believers at Judy Mbugua’s house. It was grand fun eating goat, beans, corn, maze, chipâté, and many other delicious dishes. It was also great to meet many of our Kenyan brothers and sisters in Christ. After, a short stop at the market, we arrived at our final destination: Pan African Christian University (PAC).
Monday was our first day of camp. We got up and started off with a great breakfast of scrambled eggs and bread. It was fantastic! We continued to set up for the day by getting sign in tables ready for when the kids showed up. They showed up a bit late, but we were told that the key word for the week was FLEXIBILITY. So we just went with the flow. The kids showed up and things just started happening. Before we knew it is was time to get everyone together for evening worship. It was a great first day. The only one thing that was difficult was the fact that we didn’t have any electricity.
Alright so we’ll tell you more about today, but all you need to know for now is that Josiah was seduced while in a VS outfit (We'll let you determine what that means).
We will try to post as much as we can, but our internet is very much limited this week while we are at camp. But, hopefully next week we will be able to post more. Thanks for your prayers! God is doing great things!

  1. We are praying for you, that in the midst of the electrical blackouts, you would be able to shine likes stars in the universe and also that "the Light" would shine into the darkened hearts/minds of the kids. May He become their highest treasure.
