Well, it finally became real to me this morning that it's now time to once again prepare to saddle up and ride into the mission field. The vision clinic team for the Nairobi slum of Kibera was commissioned at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Austin, TX at all three Sunday services. The team, pictured above is (from left to right) Dave DeVore, Martha and Thomas Faske, Louise and Ralph Genz, Sharon Brudner and Howard Faske. Pastor Kevin Westergren is at the far right. He told the congregation about the purpose of our mission and then commissioned and prayed over us. We will be driving down to Houston Thursday April 29th, meeting the other groups at George Bush International Airport at 1pm and flying out around 5pm for London. Our total group will number about 60 people and we will be conducting eyeglass clinics in 8 different locations throughout Kenya. Our main concern at this point is that the travel all goes well, given the recent European air traffic disruptions due to the Icelandic volcano. Please keep us in your prayers! Ask the Lord for our safe travel during which we are strong witnesses to everyone we meet along the way and that our mission has a mighty impact on the Springs of Life Lutheran Church in Kibera and the surrounding community, with large numbers of people confessing Jesus as their Lord and Savior as a result of the evangelism efforts during the vision clinic from April 3-7, 2010.
