Northside Update

I spoke with our staff at Kipkaren today. Youth have been starting to arrive for the camp. They're expecting anywhere between 350 and 500 young people for the camp.

The team have been preparing for the camp. They've also been rebuilding the gazebo that collapsed last week thanks to termites. They have also been building a simple bridge over the river due to the fact that the big bridge also recently collapsed... The nurses on the team have been helping at the clinic.

Everyone's doing well. When they arrived in Nairobi, 9 pieces of their luggage wasn't there... Praise God that it all arrived the very next morning, and they were able to pick it up before heading out on the long drive to Kipkaren. They got stuck in very bad traffic near Nakuru and didn't move for 3 hours! Nevertheless, by the time they arrived in Kipkaren (12 hours later), they were all in good spirits!

Thank you for your continued prayers for them. Please pray especially that there won't be rain in Kipkaren this week while they have camp. (We've had PLENTY of rain, so the crops are fine. I wouldn't ask for you to pray for less rain had we not had a lot lately!)
