Hello CFC,
Thank you for your support and continued prayers. The team is doing well. We arrived in Nairobi last Wednesday night with no problems, and were able to get through customs very quickly.
We spent that evening at the Holistic Mission Base in Nairobi and then departed for Singoiroi early the next morning (5 hour drive). We were very well received and were busy with a packed schedule from morning to night visiting homes for outreach, revival meetings, visiting schools (VBS), and having Bible Studies with church members.
The team has just completed our ministry at a Church in Nyamira. When we arrived we discovered that there has been a lot of tension between two major tribes in the area. (Luol, Kisii). This tension among tribes exists even among the national pastors. Please pray for reconciliation among the tribal leaders so the church of Kenya can be united and more effective in being a blessing to the nation.
We will now be headed to a town called Kisii to work with an orphanage there. The orphanage has 46 children who lost their parents in recent tribal warfare in the last year as well as the AIDS epidemic.
Today (Sunday) we will move on to Mt. Elgon for another week of VBS and outreaches. The team members are fine and in good spirits. We even got to wash our hair today, so it was special.

Thank you for prayers!
Africa Team 2009
