Kenya team update

via team member Pat C

"Greetings from Nairobi, Kenya! We all arrived safely and are not getting acclimated to the time change. One member of our party, Michael Moore, had his passport stolen in the Amsterdam airport so he had to return to the Maryland since we couldn't get him a new passport.

We had an opportunity to travel thru the local slum area next to the Pangnani school which now has some 1,000 students enrolled...amazing growth. We also did a few house visits which was such a blessing to the team. We're excited to start vacation bible school tomorrow and will continue to do so for the next 6 days during the mornings, Part of the VBS is doing an educational puppet show, conducting Bible lessons, playing games and doing crafts. In the afternoons we're scheduled to go out with the social workers to do home visits focusing on Community Health Evangelism - empowering others to help themselves. Please keep us in prayer; that we would be Jesus to all we come in contact with. We will post some new activities in the coming days. Thanks again fore your prayers and support! Pat, Vivian, Susan, Matt & Rick
