It's hard to believe that a week from today I will be spending my first jet-lagged day in Nairobi, Kenya! For now, my room is littered with clothing and my head full of a very long TO DO list of all the things I need to take care of before my flight leaves from Omaha to NYC this Sunday for orientation. I am beyond excited to meet the people I will be traveling with and to follow God where He is leading me! God has proven faithful to me time and time again as I prepare for this trip, and I know that He will be present in the places I will travel, but nevertheless please pray for safety and healing as we travel through foreign places.
Please also pray for healing and peace for those we encounter.
Pray that God may use us for good and for his purposes in the places we are going.
Pray that the hearts and minds of the group are touched irreversibly and that our experiences will make us better people and better world citizens.
I have learned from my previous travels, that a new little piece of God's heart and creativity is revealed in each new place I visit. God reveals himself uniquely in different cultures and people groups and it is an absolutely beautiful site to see, I'm so excited to be blessed with the opportunity to seek Him out even more this summer in Kenya and Uganda!
I will do my best to post regular updates!!
