4-27-2014 Early Sunday morning

It is 5am and soon the teams that have to leave for remote areas of Kenya will be stirring, getting their breakfast, checking out of Little Daughters of St. Joseph and will begin their journeys.  I’ll join them and will help in any way I can and I’m sure the team leaders will be praying over each other, their teams and those they will serve and serve with during the coming week.  One of the great blessings those of us that serve in Nairobi get to enjoy is worshipping with the congregation where we will be working.  Most other teams will be driving for many hours today, which is the reason our whole project worships together on the first Saturday afternoon.  I am looking forward to renewing old friendships after being absent from Kibera for 2 years and introducing our new team members to the amazing worship at Springs of Life Lutheran Church.  If the past is any guide, we will be in for a wide variety of music, a message firmly rooted in the Word and the undeniable presence of the Triune God. 
Catherine has arranged for our footlockers to be delivered to Kibera and our luggage to be transferred to Rosa Mystica, the convent where we will be spending the rest of our week.  After church, I expect that we will have nice lunch and then will finish buying supplies for the upcoming work week.  Once we’re settled in at Rosa Mystica, if we have good Internet access, I’ll do a post describing the events of the day.  Until then, blessing on your Sunday, wherever that is and what time it may be!
