Safely Home and Thanks

We arrived home safely on July 4, exhausted and joyful from an incredible journey. We traveled over 20,000 miles (round trip) to embrace a community extremely different - yet beautifully similar - from ours. The Nambale Magnet School was welcoming, loving, and filled with life. The outpouring of love from their students to ours was overwhelming. We witnessed deep pain, deep strength, and deep faith in our ten days there, and then we got to witness the vast beauty of God's creation on safari a couple of days later. We witnessed the abiding presence of Christ in everything we did, and in everyone with whom we interacted. 

We are eternally grateful to God for giving us this opportunity, and we are grateful to all of the people who have prayed for us and for the school during our time away. We are also grateful to those who were able to support our journey financially, and for those whose outpouring of generosity will lead to more great things at NMS in the form of a substantial financial donation (keep contributing!). We all hope that this is just the beginning of our relationship with the Nambale Magnet School in Western Kenya; instead of "Goodbye" we instead told the kids "See you soon."

God is good all the time. All the time God is good, and that is nature; Wow! God is Great!
