Well, the planning and preparations are over and it's now time for Team Kenya '09 "take-off". At 10:00AM on Thursday, JUne 11, the team will depart North Side Baptist Church by bus headed for the Atlanta airport. At 5:0PM we will leave on United Airlines flight #321 for Chicago, connecting with another United Airlines flight for London. After a lengthy lay-over, we will board Kenya Air flight #101 arriving in Nairobi at 6:30AM Saturday (6/13) local time (11:30PM Friday, Eastern time). On Sunday we will worship at Pastor Euticauls' church, Baptist Chapel (aka, Lucky Summer Baptist Church) where the morning message will be brought by team member Scott Dublin. On Sunday afternoon we will travel to the small town of Mwingi (~2 hours from Nairobi) where we will be staying at the Mwingi Cottages while we work on the Real Life Church in nearby Kamuwongo. In late 2008 and early 2009 the team raised the money to buy the land and build the first Christian church in Kamuwongo for a newly planted congregation of 50 new believers. The adjacent photo shows the progress on the church as of 6/10 ... when we arrive, we will work on putting the roof on the building, which will finish the basic structure. While in Kenya, we will attempt to add new information (and hopefully photos) to the blog on a daily basis, but that will depend upon the availability of internet access in Mwingi. Stay tuned for more and please keep us in your prayers.
