Well, we’ve booked our flights so we’re definitely getting set now for an eight month return to Kenya. We’re just waiting for visas to arrive from the Kenya High Commission in London – they should arrive at the beginning of next week. Meantime, there’s a list of things to do and people to see, so the next 2 weeks will be busy.
We fly Glasgow- Amsterdam on Monday 27 June and then overnight Amsterdam – Nairobi. Next is a short local flight to Kisumu in western Kenya. Maybe spending a night in Kisumu and then a 2-hour drive along by Lake Victoria and up the hill to Kosele on the 29th. We’re looking forward to seeing our friends at Kosele but a bit nervous as this will be our first longer stay in Kenya - previous visits have just been for 3 or 4 weeks.
Once there we want to catch up with the staff and children at the home, and with the church leaders and members. Initially our focus will be on continuing to build relationships, learn more about Luo culture - and hopefully a bit of the Luo language – and exploring how we can work with the local managers and church leaders and encourage them.
So far, planning and preparing for this trip has gone really well. This just reinforces our conviction that this is all God’s doing and that he will be with us in this big adventure. Please remember us and pray for us as we take this step out of our comfort zones, that we would continue in good health and that we will see more of God’s Kingdom coming in Kosele.
