The six of us gathered outside at 10 am. I opened the worship with a prayer and proceeded to present the Oswald Chambers devotion called "What is a Missionary?" It sparked a good conversation about how each of us were called over the years to become a part of our various projects here in Kenya. Kristin then asked each of us to talk about a couple of highlights from this trip, which also prompted the veterans in the group to recount some of the most memorable moments from over the years. We spent a little over an hour together. Chris, who served wtih Salem, read from the 1 Peter, the first chapter and then Richard closed us with prayer followed by the group praying the Lord's Prayer together. Everyone said it was a meaningful service. I'm so glad we had this time together to encourage each other and to get to know one another a little better.
It's about 11:30am here as I write this, lunch should be around 1pm. Our dear friend Catherine will be here around 4pm to conduct business with the team leaders. I'll get one last shower before then. We will be leaving for the airport at 6pm, arriving there about 7pm, ready to clear security and check-in for our flights.
More to follow as time and Internet access permit. Blessings everybody!
