Waiting...Sunday's on It's Way ;)

The bad news is: Dcs. Linda & Sue have one more day to wait until they can leave.  The good news is: they'll fly Business Class so Dcs. Linda can have her leg elevated.  Linda is keeping ahead of the pain with medication.

The rest of the team will be worshipping at Springs of Life tomorrow & doing some home visits in Kibera.  YES, we will be careful!  We will visit Peres at her home & I'm excited to spend some time with a special little girl named Beryl who will be there.  Being deep in Kibera can be a bit overwhelming with many unusual sights & sounds.  Meat hanging in the "butchery" window with no refrigeration, raw sewage running through trenches, odd bits & pieces being sold on the "street" all seem so foreign to those who live in the land of the strip mall with a Starbucks on every corner.  What is amazing to experience the gracious hospitality of these people who have nothing.    When you are willing to meet people in their suffering, sit with them, listen to their stories & visit their homes they open up and are ready to hear your message.  Small acts of kindness are truly appreciated here.

We are looking forward to what God will reveal tomorrow & whom God will place in our path...
