1st Day in Kenya

Energized, excited, anticipating something new! We just started our first day in Nairobi Kenya at Africa Inland Mission Guest House. Up early for breakfast of fresh pineapple, oatmeal and toast...and chai. Missionaries stay here as they transition to and from the field. As I write to you, sitting on the edge of the guest house den area, stories are being told by a British pastor working with tribal leaders in Africa. Soon we will go back to the airport to gather missing bags, then drive out to our new home, Rafiki Training Village.

I'll bet y'all were exhausted from the trip. I can imagine you listening to the British pastor with your pith helmets on and dressed for safari. By now you've made it to Rafiki. I hope you have a joy-filled first meeting with the children. We'll be praying.

We are so glad to hear that our prayers were answered with your safe arrival, but it just wasn't the same having a Fellowship team at Casa Aleluya last week without the Taylor family. You were missed.

We will continue to pray that your ministry in Kenya will thrive and that God will be glorified in all that you set your hands and hearts to.

We love each and every one of you,

The Ciaks
