Busy Day!!

After breakfast on Saturday, our team met with the extended LIA team and then LIA gave specific information and directions about the activities and goals for the next ten days. After lunch, they went to the market where much bargaining was done in order to purchase spears, drums, necklaces, giraffes, rhinos, and various other items. Several LIA team members accompanied the group to assist with the bargaining. Our team purchased a drum at the market to use while they are there, and will leave it with one of the churches that does not have any instruments. Aaron R. will be playing the drum with Taylor and Tory also on instruments. Tory and Taylor will be singing a duet, and Sarah M. will also be singing. The team members practiced some songs with hand motions, which they will be sharing with the schools they will be visiting. On Sunday, they will be attending Julias's church, and all the guys decided to wear coats and ties!! After church, they will be making some home visits in the slum area, then returning to the compound for dinner, debriefing, and bed.
Please pray for wisdom for the LIA team, and for them to have patience with our team. Pray that they would not see arrogance, but humble servants; and pray that our team will have hearts to see God revealed.
"Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol Him, all you peoples. For great is His love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!" Psalms 117:1-2

After having been in Kenya, I can just picture how it is and what you are doing. It will be an incredible adventure for everyone. I am sure you will be amazed at what God will reveal to you. Open your eyes and see what God is doing there. Understand you aren't Americans but God's children first an foremost. Leaders, open up your hearts and drink in the energy, love and wonder of the young and truly see the engagement of them with the people. Robert Ott
