Please keep the prayers and support coming. Our team (of 10 people) have been facing various obstacles and challenges as we reach the final stretch.
Biggest prayer need for us personally is for Bryan's knee. Pray for miraculous healing... or that we would have the patience and peace to listen if it is God's will that he not go on the trip. Bryan injured his knee on Fri night / Saturday day... and it's been swollen ever since. So for the past 7 days he's been trying to keep his knee elevated and iced, and just laying low trying to let it recover.
I can't imagine going on this journey without my partner in life, but it is looking more and more like that may be the reality of it. Depending on how he's doing in the coming week, he will be faced with deciding whether or not he will join the team, or stay behind.
Please pray for this decision and for his healing.... and again... for peace. Perhaps I can attempt to take comfort praying the serenity prayer....
Amen.
I will keep you posted of our plans and our travels.
Ohhh... and our latest financial update is that we've raised $4,680 directly to Bayside and about $300 that family/friends wanted us to use for our other expenses (such as our cost to see Oliva, our Compassion Child, postage, etc). If Bryan goes, as originally planned, we will still be responsible for raising/paying Bayside the remaining $3,920. If Bryan cannot travel with us, we're not yet sure what the difference in funding would be (his flight will be covered under the trip insurance, but not sure of numbers and details yet). We'll cross that bridge when we get there.
For now... pray for each member of our team and for the work that God has planned for us to do in Kenya.
