Thankful
Written: Sunday, Nov 5, 2006 11:21 pm Nairobi time, 2:21 pm est. Canada
We made it! Ross and Dawn traveled on KLM airlines and Brenda and Michael traveled on British Airways. We left within 45 minutes of each other and arrived within an hour of each other – and that with a layover in Amsterdam and London respectively.
When we stepped out of the Nairobi airport it hit us that by God’s we had made it here. We are here. Dawn in particular felt the joy and excitement as tears filled her eyes.
Bonus! When we stepped out of Baggage claim we saw a big banner for the United Nations Change Conference on the environment. It’s being held here for the next two weeks. The environment (clean air) is something that Michael has had quite a bit of experience in and is hoping that when we get back from Beni (and have a spare day) that he might get a chance to take it in. We’ll see.
Prayer: Father as we begin a night’s rest we give you thanks for this, your Sabbath. Thanks for the gift of all our luggage arriving with us. Thanks for your goodness and kindness. Thanks for your faithful mercies. We’ll be looking for them again in the morning. Amen

Good to hear everyone and everything arrived safely!
Dawn, we're praying for you and the rest of the team on your first day of seminars, especially that trust would be built quickly.
P.S. - Michael, you and I will have to talk about climate change some time! :)
Hi guys! So glad everything has gone well so far. I received a call from Mr. Katembo - he missed his flight in Montreal and will be delayed 24 hr. He asks that you wait in Nairobi for him. I will send this message through phone and also via Michael's email.

Just wanted you all to know that we had a meaninful time of prayer (again!) for you all on Sunday morning. There were five of us, including Brenda's parents. Praying for your strength and peace for the week ahead.

Ross,Dawn,Brenda and Michael,
We are so encouraged knowing you have arrived safely and that soon you will be ministering and worshipping with our Congolese brothers and sisters . We pray for protection, safety and wisdom for each one of you. May God bless each word and gesture during your stay. Peace be with you.
