The Bridge Team Arrived Safely in Ilula!

The Bridge team has safely arrived into the Kenyan village Ilula after approximately 36 hours of travels within 3 airplanes. We arrived to the warmest welcome of a large circle of children singing God's praises, hugging and telling us "Welcome home."

This moment nearly put all into tears of joy as the sincerity and depth of God's love was overflowing. We personally greeted each child and hugged them before parting for an excellent meal together with the ELI leadership.
