1 st day in Kenya
Greetings everyone! Today was our first full day in Kenya after traveling a full 24 hours to get here. The flights went great. Ward’s back went through the trip without giving him any major trouble. Sandra ordered kosher meals on the plane for the fun of it. Her food was very interesting. I started breaking out in a rash on the chin and then on my eye. It is still bothers me a bit. We believe that it is a spiritual attack and prayed against it immediately. In the airport, we met Thomas, a local guy, who was so nice and instantly became our friend. He gave us a short cut through the visa line. Nate and Sandra are staying at Doug and Sue Brown’s house who are the pastor’s of the Karen Vineyard. It was interesting arriving at their house. There are these big gates in front of every house and the property is surrounded by high hedges and security wire. They said that vandalism is extremely high and prominent. Ward and I are staying by ourselves on a property. They said we should not worry about vandalism because there were dogs on the property and that was a good sign. The alarm did go of in the middle of the night. But we are not worried. Today they took us to a place to feed the giraffes and see warthogs. Very cool and interesting. I was too scared to feed the giraffes. I am not too fond of animals that are bigger than me. Ward, of course, fed the giraffe and hugged it. Then we went to see the house where the movie “Out of Africa” was filmed. Very neat and it made me want to see the movie again. Tonight we met Mark and Sue who are moving to Karen for a year to work at the Karen Vineyard. We met Alexander and Jill who are pastors of a Vineyard in Johannesburg and Jenny whose house we are staying in. We had a great meal of lasagna. It is now bed time and I have jet lag. I am a little worried and anxious about my talk tomorrow to 200 Pastors. I am praying for God’s favor and his presence to be there. We will let you know how it goes!
