East African Retreat!


Hey guys - sorry so long to get back to you - internet access is very sketchy here! However, I've been having a blast - really spoiled! I got to meet my UWM Team - the East African Team - they are all in Nairobi in various ministries! I will upload photos as soon as I can!

We went to a place called El Dama Ravine! It was awesome! I got to drive through the Rift Valley - for all of you Starbucks lovers - it's where we get our Kenyan coffee!! We had a great time bonding and planning our mission/vision statements and sharing what all of our various ministries look like! The team spoiled me rotten with amazing food and great fun!

Please pray for the Osbornes, Dyes & Ryders as they continue their work of training church planters, bible teachers, and children's ministers in Kenya!

Safe & Sound in Kenya!



Hey - I made it to Kenya - with my luggage can you believe it?!!!? Anyway, I'm having a super blast and enjoying "Java House," the Starbucks of Kenya! I got to have an iced "Maliti Macchiato." It's like a Caramel Macchiato with Chocolate instead! YUM!!!! YEAH COFFEE!!!!

The big prayer request right now is my DRC Visa - for those of you who haven't heard, it was denied - so please be praying that I will be able to get one at the border! LOTS of PRAYERS!

I'm looking forward to the retreat this week and meeting my new team members here in Kenya! They're already spoiling me rotten!

All my love!

Safe & Sound

I made it safe and sound to Missouri! Unfortunately, where I'm at doesn't get good cell reception - so just leave me a message and I'll call you back!

I speant most of yesterday in bed - catching up on my sleep! Today, we went shopping for last minute christmas presents - since we are having family Christmas next saturday!

I must have brought the CA weather with me - because it's 78 degrees outside - and no snow on the ground!!!! YEAH!!!!!
