Kids Small Groups

We have ARRIVED. After a LONG journey - 10 hour flight from LAX to Heathrow, 12 hour layover in London, 8 hours from London to Nairobi and then the final hour and a half to Kigali - WE ARE HERE!

We truly felt your prayers today. Despite the arduous journey (even sleeping in a park outside the "Eye" in London) we moved right into a FULL day to hit the ground running. There was lots of napping in the car and yawning, but we made it through the day with more than enough energy because of you and your prayers.

Here's a quick snapshot of the day:
* Arrived at Kigali International Airport @ 8:30 AM
* Picked up 44 of our 48 checked bags (read on under prayer requests)
* Met Dorothy & our driver Julius to check-in to our guest house and get cleaned up before lunch @ the New Cactus (lots of delicious pizza to be had by all).
* Showed incredible flexibility and energy as we ran a children's afternoon service for 3 hours...it was AMAZING!!!
* Finished up the night with picking up a few team supplies and dining together @ Chez Robert.

Everyone is SO ready for bed as evidenced by the constant nodding off in the bus. But, before we hit the hay we would ask for your specific prayers to be lifted up above and beyond what was outlined in the prayer guide. Here they are:
~ The missing 4 bags to show up ASAP (3 soccer equipment/supply bags and 1 of Jennifer Brase's)
~ The first afternoon of the children's ministry leader training in Kimironko. We are expecting about 40 leaders and the team members to kick-off the teaching tomorrow are Jeremy & Liza (Intro); Will, Jessica, Victoria, Kris & Ray (Worship) and Linas, Cassandra, & Ariel (Belong)
~ Tired heads to hit the pillows quickly and be FULLY rested and adjusted to the time change. With that, of course, health...so far so good and we want to keep that going.

We will keep you posted as the day's of ministry continue on. Day one in Rwanda is done. GOOD NIGHT!
