Kenya Team Day One

Day One: 

We made it!!! We are currently all in our rooms in Nairobi preparing for our day in Kiria tomorrow. It is now past 1:00am here in Nairobi. I wanted to give all of our supporters an inside look at the past 24 yours for the team. 

Time difference: 

London- 6 hours ahead

Nairobi and Kiria- 7 hours ahead

As you know we departed from RDU at 6:15pm on the 28th (after arriving the airport at 4:00pm). We arrived in London for a three hour layover at approximately 7:00am local time (1:00am NC time) on the 29th. We then boarded Kenya Air at 10:20am local time and reached Nairobi at 9:15pm local time.

We are all safe and excited to be here! A team member who was sitting close to me during take off said, “Ya’ll we are really on our way to Kenya!” I immediately wrote this quote down because I was feeling the same excitement. Throughout the first flight to London we got into our on spaces. It was quiet, the plain had come to a calm rhythm. Pages being turned, technology being utilized and people dozing with their pillows tucked under their heads. At this point we all have the same destination but our goals may be unique. The goals of each team member vary beyond the broad goal of building relationships and supporting the people of Kiria, Kenya. How will our individual actions affect the team? How will our individual actions affect everyone around us for that mater? Being more aware and conscious of our actions will help us to be more clear understanding teammates which in turn will help us achieve the goals set before us. So, here we are one team, sixteen individuals, working together for one mission. 

“A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.”

-Proverbs 22:9 

Thank you for your prayers and support!

God Bless,
