Team Africa Packing Party

Last Monday night, Team Africa had fun packing the supplies they need for their ministry in Kenya and Uganda. They will be taking 9 "action packers" along with their own luggage, so pray everything safely arrives!

They will be at the Eastern Iowa (Cedar Rapids) Airport at 11 AM this coming Sunday, November 5, to begin their journey. They will fly to Minneapolis/St. Paul, then Amsterdam, and will finally arrive in Nairobi, Kenya, at 8:20 PM on Monday, November 6.

Their primary time for ministry will be Wednesday, November 8, through Wednesday, November 15. Terri, Eric, Connie, Olivia, Vicky, and Anne will be involved in children's ministry at ELI in Eldoret, Kenya, as well as with a work project. Pat and Jan will be involved with a women's conference in Eldoret, then will travel to Uganda for a women's training conference. The team will reunite for a debriefing at Nakuru National Park on Friday, November 17.

They will begin their return journey on Saturday, November 18, and are scheduled to arrive back here in Cedar Rapids at 4:20 PM on Sunday, November 19.

I will post any updates about the team as I get them, so check this blog in the coming days.

Here are some final prayer requests from the team as they prepare to leave:

• Final details in leaving - work and family as well as team preparations
• Health and Safety for all
• Favor at the airport, no problems with customs
• Unity and Spirit-led ministry as a team
• Appropriate sleep on the flight as well as making all of our connections.
• Open to any God-encounters on our way to Africa
