Internet connections have been very limited for the past several days. The team did quit a bit of debriefing on Friday, traveled Saturday, little debrief, then Sunday worship next to the Nile River, processed the entire week over several hours, talked about World Vision as a whole, the people we met, the ministry connections, and so much more. The team has learned a lot. I would encourage those reading this to ask the team members how they saw God working in their lives (the team members life). Let them share with you how God worked in their lives as they took notes, loved people and learned so much. All team members were required to take many notes, ask them to share one of the "programs" and how they saw God working.
We go as encourages and come back as advocates. (coined by a past team member)
5 of the team members are on the tarmac in Amsterdam awaiting the next leg of their journey home, please pray for them to have great conversations with those around them on the plane and with each other. (Ask members about the side conversations that occurred during the flights and trip, I believe every member had more then 4 conversations with other people about why they were on this trip, ask them about those interactions and who they met).
The 6th team member (myself, Tammy) has arrived safely in Kenya. I will begin my journey within the hour of learning how World Vision Kenya works, see my sponsored child here, (21/22 of March) and then travel up to see Sara and Anthony Systma, who are missionaries from our church (Sara grew up at Midland Free), I will be with them until Saturday, heading back to Nairobi and then flights back to Midland.
We invite you to join the Midland Free Gulu Trip Team on May 7th for a luncheon with a report back from the learning that took place this past week. Just after second service, 12:15pm
An RSVP link will be attached to this blog at a later date.
