Ten hours later...

So here we are still in the Ghana airport- some sleeping, some taking pictures of people sleeping, some trying to lick their elbows, some playing games, some making funnies (seth), but all enjoying themselves quite a bit. 

With us, is a pastor, Matthew and his Grandmother, Lois who are  from California. Matthew is a pastor at Church Without Walls in Berkley, CA and has a heart for seeing the church stepping out and making a difference in this world. His Grandmother, Lois, is a gem! What a brave woman she is to make such a long trip! They are going to Kenya to visit Matthew's brother and his wife, and their new baby who are living there. Both Matthew and his grandmother have not met  her or the baby yet so this is going to be an exciting reunion for them! Matthew's sister- in-law is Egyptian and has been having trouble receiving an American visa so please keep their family in prayers so that the Lord might unite them together again. I firmly believe God brings people into our lives for a reason. We enjoyed some spicy, but good food with the two of them in the restaurant here in the airport. I enjoy sitting here on the benches while listening, encouraging, and pouring into each others life. That's what we are here for. Please keep these two people in your prayers. Pray that the Lord guides their footsteps, keeps them safe, and allows them to encourage their family members in Kenya. What a blessing it is to see the world outside our walls so that we may be a mouthpiece for these Kenyan men and women. 

I am excited to say that we are down to the end of our layover which means we will be stepping on Kenya soil soon!  Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. It is a blessing to have our church, family, and friends interceding for us. Praise the Lord for already having such a story to tell in our travels thus far! What doesn't break us only makes us stronger, and boy is this team getting stronger! 

 go and be peace
