APU: Last Post

I (Adele) am heading to Nairobi tomorrow, so the team will not be able to post any updates on their last 2 days. Sorry about that!

Today, we visited our base in Kipkaren. They went on home visits, walking first in the sun, then caught in the rain. But they took it in stride and returned with smiles on their faces, ready for the next thing. Next was time with the Kipkaren kids, playing for an hour. Those from the team who sponsor kids in Kipkaren got to connect with them, which is both a blessing to the kids as well as to the sponsors.

We ended the evening with dinner at Julius' house. Julius is ELI Director of Operations. We laughed a lot at his stories, but they were as moving as some were funny, and we ended the evening with a time of sincere prayer for Julius. What a blessing to see how the team just steps up and is ready to serve, whether through prayer or through service.

We were certain we'd get stuck in the mud on our way home... It had rained all day, and we were in the rear-wheel-drive Nissan minivan, one of the worst vehicles to drive through the intense mud. But as we drove home, we laughed and prayed, sang songs and before we knew it, we were home without having had to push. Yeah God!

Once again, the team's in Dreamland. Tomorrow morning, they get to lead a Bible class at school first thing in the morning, and after that, it's back to their construction project for their last 2 days here. There's a big farewell dinner for them on Thursday night, and on Friday, they'll fly to Nairobi for ministry in Kibera slum before their debriefing breakaway.

Thanks again for lifting these guys and girls up in prayer. You are a part of the work God is doing in and through them!
