#3: Los Angeles to San Francisco to London to Nairobi.

We thought checking in at Los Angeles would be costly and difficult because of all of the tubs and luggage we were taking for Vacation Bible School. However, God granted us favor in the way of Kym from United. If the internet signal is strong enough, we’ll post a pic of her. ☺ It was off to SFO where we met “Minnie” and shared how much God loves her. We also shared Jesus with Justice and Ose along the way.

Eight hours after we'd left San Francisco, we were in London. We had the opportunity to take the tube to Piccadilly. For lunch, we shared fish'n'chips, shepherd's pie, still water, and LOTS OF LAUGHTER at an English restaurant.

On our plane to Nairobi, we fellowshipped with one another and caught some desperately needed shut-eye, though most of us only caught a few hours of sleep. We watched (via the Plane Tracker on our screens) with great anticipation as our plane flew into Africa. As we neared Nairobi at 6:00AM, we caught the beginnings of a beautiful African Sunrise. As we touched down in Nairobi on Friday Morning, 10 hours ahead of California, excitement grew in each one of us. Upon landing, we climbed the stairs down onto the tarmac where we proceeded to walk down taxiways in no particular order or line… just a mob of folks exiting the aircraft. We took the opportunity to take our first pictures in Africa.

When we say we shared laughter. We mean it. It has been so fun and just iron sharpening iron on our journey to Africa. With so much unity and love for one another in Jesus, we can only venture to say, that we are expecting one exciting journey—Into Africa.

PRAYER REQUESTS: Please pray for the faith to use the gifts and abilities that God has given us - Spiritual gifts, that we would walk in boldness, becoming FREE to love the people here with no apprehension or fear, but with power, love, and sound-mind.

Please Pray for Brent, he is teaching Sunday Morning: that God's word would cut deep into every heart, and that His word would not return void, and that Brent would be the mouthpiece and vessel God uses.

Please Pray that Mike's luggage is found and is returned to us.

Please Pray for Brent and Elva, they are leading worship Sunday morning with Steve the drummer, one of the guys from CCNairobi: that God would use them to take the hands of the people and be ushered in, together, into God's presence.

Please Pray that Melissa is healed from her cold.

Please Pray for Elva: She will be doing the Freedom in Christ Concert on Sunday evening: that the worship and songs would seep deep into the hearts of all those whose ears hear the words and music; that the Holy Spirit would reach down into the depths of their souls and cause them to turn from their sin, into everlasting life in Jesus; and for the Christians, that they would be enboldened and cry out, "Here I Am, Send Me!"

Please Pray that Robin is filled with God's Spirit as she prepares to teach on Wednesday and heads up the Vacation Bible School on Monday!
