Hello everyone! As our trip nears, we are praying and preparing thoughtfully for our journey. Please keep us in your prayers during our mission which begins in Atlanta on Friday, June 5th when we arrive at the airport at 2:00pm and ends on June 18th at 1:40pm when we arrive back on American soil. We have been SO blessed by everyone's support and we are so thankful for God's peace, guidance, love and support for this trip.
We have partnered with Kenya Children's Fund for this mission trip. http://www.kenyachildrensfund.org/
We are flying Northwest Airlines to Amsterdam then Royal Dutch Airlines to Nairobi, Kenya. For all those concerned on specifics: (read: my parents) Flying there: June 5th we depart from ATL at 4:40pm, arrive in Amesterdam at 7:25am, leave Amsterdam at 10:25am to fly into Nairobi at 7:05pm. Returning: (HELLO JETLAG) June 17th 10:05pm from Nairobi, fly into Amsterdam at 5:30am, leave Amsterdam at 10:20am and fly into ATL at 1:40pm on June 18th.
We will be staying at the Gracias Gardens Guesthouse. Here is the website to take a peak, however, the actual Guest house that we are staying in is not on here. http://www.graciahotels.com/gracia_gardens.php
We will be working with the precious children and teachers of the Kinyago-Dandora School. http://www.kenyachildrensfund.org/Primary.asp
We will also travel to Masai Mara, a Kenyan safari, for 2 days. http://www.masaimara.org/
The school still has urgent needs, so please contact one of us before Friday if you would like to contribute!
We will update as much as possible while we are there to share our experiences, let our loved ones know we are safe, and try to share the love that Jesus has put in our hearts through this trip.
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? ... I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8: 35-39.
His, Jen
