I leave for Kenya today. I still can not believe it. It all really seems surreal. The Lord provided a little over $4,000 in less then twenty-four hours. When I got back from my Christmas break at 2pm on December 29th I owed $4,300, roughly. By 10am on December 30th every penny had come in! I still don't know how exactly. A lot from people I don't even know!
OUR GOD IS GREAT!!!
For real though everyone. Thank you so much for all of your help financially and your prayers. Continued prayers would be appreciated!
2pm is when this new adventure really starts. Since yesterday at 2pm I have been reminding everyone "less then 24 hours!!" I think they get it. ;) Really though I keep saying it because I am trying to convince myself this is really happening! Haha :)
I leave the Monroe base at 2pm for the airport, then we have a little over an hour flight then a 5 hour layover, still in the states of course. Then out we go! All nine of us. Two staff and seven students. I can't wait.
Guys, the Lord has been so incredibly good to me through this whole thing. He has placed me in an amazing team with exceptional friends. He provided every cent I needed for going to Kenya. The Lord never calls us out without intending to provide. I am so thankful for what He has been doing in me and the people around me. I wish I could say I was never going to struggle with God's provision, the truth is I most likely will, BUT now I have something to look at and say, He provided then, maybe no the way I would have or in the time I though necessary, but He did it just in time. He didn't let me down.
And He said unto them. "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:15
This is what we are going to do in Kenya. Your prayers will be so appreciated! I wished that I could share stories while I was gone, but Internet is not really accessible. So as soon as I get back I will have lots of stories for you all to hear!
I will talk to you all in two months! :))
I love you so much! I am so proud of you:)
