Should I feel guilty for not blogging when I'm not traveling? I don't. But since I'm leaving tomorrow for another trip to Kenya, I will try to get in the habit now.
For those who do not know, my church, Golf Course Road Church of Christ, through it's World Bible School ministry, helps fund eight orphanages and feeding stations, feeding over 1,400 orphans in Kenya, East Africa. Twice a year, some of us from GCR travel to Kenya to encourage the workers, meet the widows who care for the orphans, try to lend some technical expertise, and in general try to provide some leadership to those who are doing God's work.
This trip starts tomorrow at 11AM when I depart for 29 hours of travel from Midland to Houston, Amsterdam, and Nairobi. The flights are fun for me. I am an aviation enthusiast, and I like to chill with my ipod and laptop, so there's plenty of time for that. I'm anticipating a smooth trip, but you ever know.
Once in Kenya, we'll stay Sunday in Kamulu, where Mauryn Mbuvi and her husband, Francis live. Mauryn is our WBS coordiator for Kenya and Francis is a leader of the Made in the Streets ministry in Nairobi. Francis will be our driver, and we'll be joined by their two boys, Jay and Jeremy. Rispa, a Kenyan woman who works with Mauryn is coming to help with the boys.
John Defore, John Cherry, and Cherie Creech from GCR will join me for this adventure, and the plans are to visit all eight orphanage locations and all the feeding sites as well. We'll be 12 days in Kenya and 4 days flying.
My goal for this blog is to keep you informed of our progress, and try to impart some of what we experience. Should be fun!

Thanks for the update! I am looking forward to reading updates about the trip! I do have a question, last March when ya'll went, there was a direct link to the blog and I didn't have to navigate through GCR's Web site to read it. There was also a direct link when the youth group went. Is there a link this time as well? I do most of my Internet on my phone these days and I cannot navaigate to the blog section of GCR's Web site with my phone. If there is, please let me know. It would be a great help!
Thanks!
