My friend LV, who works for Catalyst Conference, landed this morning and will be blogging about his visits to many of the Compassion projects in Kenya. You can read his posts HERE...and be praying for him.
A HUGE team from Saddleback {26 students and 8 leaders} are headed to Kitale first thing tomorrow morning. I'm not sure if they will be blogging while they are there, but I do know they will be working hard to provide some memorable moments of sincere childhood for the children of Kitale. {I cried saying goodbye this afternoon...wishing, so badly, that I were going with them}.
Here is their trip itinerary, if you would like to pray for them over the next twelve days:
Day ONE & TWO: (3/4/10 & 3/5/10) Travel to Nairobi then on to Kitale

Day THREE: (3/6/10) Travel to Kitale and ministry at the KITALE PRISON

I promise I will pray for them every single day! I know they will be asked MANY MANY times, "Do you know Allison?"
Oh I love you.
