Kenya, July 21- Lauren Gurgel

Hello from Team Kenya!
We have officially wrapped up all of our teaching here. Yesterday we spent the day traveling from Matunda to Nakuru. Along the way we got to stop and see the Menengai Crater, which we all enjoyed. In the photo with us is our driver, Danson. He has done a great job helping us out the past few weeks taking us wherever we need to go. This morning we woke up bright and early to venture out for a safari! We were blessed to see lots of zebras, giraffes, rhinos, cape buffalo, gazelles, birds, warthogs, baboons, and monkeys. We're all grateful for this opportunity to see God's amazing creation from a different perspective! In the afternoon we got some relaxing in and walked around the city. Tomorrow we're heading to Nairobi for the first step of our journey home. Thank you for continued prayers!


Lamentations 3:22-23
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Teams Kenya and Zambia, Tom Naumann: En Route!

Teams Kenya and Zambia met at Terminal 5 Chicago O’Hare airport on Wednesday afternoon. As I write this our first flight is about to land in Paris where we will catch a connecting flight to Nairobi, Kenya and from there we will go our separate ways.  God is blessing our travel thus far and we trust that He will bring us safely to the mission fields which He has prepared for us. Please pray for continued safe travel, some little sleep, and minimal jet lag! 2 Thessalonians 3:1 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored.

4 Weeks Until Take Off! -- Spreading the Gospel in Kenya, Tanzania, and Zambia

Image
Only 4 weeks from today the 2026 Mission Helpers to Africa will depart Chicago, O'Hare on their way to Kenya, Tanzania, and Zambia. We are eager and excited to share the Gospel of Christ with an estimated 6000 children. Some of these children will be members of CLC-affiliated congregations and preaching stations, but most of them will not be. For many, this will be the first time they have heard a clear Law and Gospel presentation of the Bible's story of salvation.  Due to the Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda, Team Kenya will not be making their planned stops in Uganda. We are saddened by this, but we trust that while man has a plan, God has a purpose. He promises to work even this out for the good of His people. We are closely monitoring the status of the outbreak, but at the time of this writing, there is no safety concerns nor travel restrictions to Kenya, Tanzania, or Zambia. Our plans to evangelize in those countries remain the same.  The theme for our Child Evangelis...
