JUNE 2011 Kenya Team arrive back in Nairobi

Hello Everyone!

The June 2011 Kenya team has arrived safely back in Nairobi after a fantastic time on safari in the Masai Mara Game Reserve.
After a great night's rest tonight, they will start their final day in Kenya (for most of them) tomorrow with a visit to the Giraffe Center and some souvenir shopping downtown, among other things. In the afternoon, they will drop the four extended-stay team members, Justine, Anna, Heidi and Sharayah, at the airport for their flight back to Kisumu where they will stay another four weeks, continuing the work started by the team and following up on many of the children and adults they've me since arriving.

Later tomorrow evening (their time) they will check-in for the first of their three flights home. The team will arrive at the Nairobi airport around 9am PST for their flight that departs at 1:30pm PST Friday and lands in Washington DC at about 12:30pm PST Saturday.
From there, they will split up and proceed to their home airports and arrive home to all of you a few hours later. For the west coast team members, arrival is about 8:30pm Saturday….so…yes, that IS about 35 ½ hours of travel and it doesn't even count getting home from the airport.

Please join us in praying for the safety and protection for all team members as they fly, for smooth flights (J) and for a lot of sleep so those returning to the US won't have to endure so many hours of travel in a waking state! Pray for the four team members staying behind in Kisumu, for good health, protection, energy, stamina and joy, and that they might be the hands and feet of Jesus as they work alongside our Kenyan friends and "family" for the next four weeks.

Thank you all, once again, for your support for the team. They feel it and they send their love and prayers right back to you!
Have a great day and God bless you all.

Sally
