Days 1 & 2 – The Journey Begins

  

After months of preparation, our journey has finally begun. What a whirlwind the past two days have been—20 hours in the air, spread across three flights, with three-hour layovers tucked in between. God’s hand was with us every step of the way. Each flight left on time, one even arrived early, and in the middle of it all, we crossed nine different time zones. It’s humbling to think how far He has carried us already.


Sleep was scarce, but joy was abundant. We stepped off the plane a little weary, but the moment we walked into the airport, fatigue melted into excitement. Smiles, hugs, and warm welcomes met us, making us feel not just like guests, but like family. That kind of love after such a long journey is hard to put into words—it was a reminder that God prepares not only the way, but the people along the way.


One more reason to praise: every single one of our supplies arrived safely. Knowing how much care and prayer went into gathering those items, it felt like another small miracle to see them rolling off the baggage carousel.


These first two days have been full of miles, moments, and mercies. We are here, we are ready, and we know it’s going to be so good.


“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”



Deuteronomy 31:8

Day 3 – A Day of Learning, Fellowship, and Worship

Image
  Today was filled with simple moments that turned into beautiful lessons. We started the morning with a trip to the grocery store. It was more than just shopping—it was a chance to learn about different foods and brands while stretching our math skills as we worked through the exchange rate 🤣. The girls decided they wanted to bless everyone with a spaghetti dinner, so they eagerly gathered ingredients. Estimating how much pasta to cook for twelve people became its own math challenge—and another great learning opportunity! After shopping, we had a few hours of rest. The girls took time to catch up on homework, while the rest of us enjoyed some quiet moments to recharge. This evening, our home came alive with fellowship. The girls began singing with two of the Kenyan ladies who had come by—it was so anointed and Spirit-filled!  Soon, the rest of the team from the center joined us. We shared introductions, lifted our voices in praise and worship, and received a powerful w...
