Where Do I Start!?!

Tonight we are packing David's bags for Kenya, the Bondo region. He is leaving around 3:30am on Saturday with a team of 9 other folks from our church for two weeks. This is the 3rd trip back to the same area and the same people. Knowing that upon his return some of those that he ministered with last year and the year before will probably have died. The team is literally out in the "bush" and in small villages setting up churches, teaching and ministering to ministers and leaders. They are going into the schools and orphanages talking to children and teaching HIV/Aids protection and abstinence. This is the only way to physically save lives - the average age in the region is 15 - half of the population is 15 years or younger. Not many adults left due to death from AIDS. So I ask for your prayers for the Kenyan Mission team from Bell Shoals Baptist Church (www.bellshoals.com) They fly from Tampa to JFK, to Dubai (13 hours), then on to Nairobi, then fly to Kisumu, then by van the rest of the way. Biggest prayer need to start with is safety while traveling and health protection. I am thanking God this evening for the safe return of our niece from Kenya. She is only 16, and has just landed safely in Chicago - not all the way home yet - from a two week trip into Kenya. Check out her blog - http://raymunn.blogspot.com/
I really do need someone to tell me how to drop these links in without writing out the link. I see lots of blogs doing that with just highlighted names, etc. So if someone can enlighten me just go right ahead!! Thanks. and just remember to pray because this is going to be two long weeks...long for those of us left behind to do the praying, quick and too short for those ministering in Kenya.
