I bet you're wondering how the planning is going for Africa. I first want to shout out a HUGE THANK YOU to those who have helped fund this ministry to Kenya. I am so grateful for your help and generosity.
I just bought the plane ticket tonight, it's nice to have that part settled. The other big thing I still need to settle is choosing which safari company to go with. We have been discussing the itenerary a lot and we have decided I will go to the Young Adult Quaker African conference to lead a workshop and speak then travel on up to Turkana with a stop by a hospital with a specialty in holistic healing. After a few days in Turkana, I will be ministering at a women's conference before flying back out of Nairobe. My official dates of travel are November 28th through December 22nd. It's hard to believe I will be gone that long, not to mention missing most of the Christmas season at home. That will be a first for me but I wouldn't have it any other way.
God placed a magazine all about hunger in Turkana in my path and I read it from cover to cover. I now understand more of what they are going through. It will be life altering to see it with my own eyes.
(I needed a good hat to protect me from the equatorial sun and found this one at the Mt. Angel Octoberfest. I had just gotten the official word I was going to Kenya the day I bought the hat.)
