(Darleen wants to remind everyone from Weeks One and Two - don’t forget to take your malaria pills today!)

Whew! What a whirlwind the past three days have been!

Obviously, we have been unable to access the Internet until now.

In this post, I will attempt to update you from the events over the weekend.

On Friday evening, seventeen out of the twenty-five Alamo City team members boarded an airplane to London are now presumably safely home in San Antonio - sleeping off their “jet-lag!”

Before they left, most of the team spent the day Friday relaxing and preparing for the journey home while a handful of us ventured out the House of Hope specifically to pray over the water well there.

At mid-afternoon we checked out of our wonderful accommodations at Lukenya Getaway and headed to Nairobi for one final meal together in Africa before going to the airport.

As the entire Crossbridge team and seventeen Alamo City team members departed Africa for home, four more people flew into Nairobi from San Antonio - joining the eight of us who have remained behind for the evangelistic basketball camps to be held this week.

The twelve of us moved into the YMCA, Nairobi, in order to be closer to the basketball camp facilities. Although we’re extremely grateful for our lodging, we do miss our Lukenya Getaway tents!

On Saturday morning, we were treated to a safari through the Nairobi National Park - the largest National Park located within a city in the world - so we’re told. We then visited the Masai Market and concluded our day by eating supper at The Java House, Nairobi - which, by the way, has outstanding fresh-brewed Kenyan coffee!

Yesterday morning, we once again attended Joy Miracle Centre Church where Billy Honc had an opportunity to preach. We also assisted in feeding the “Children of the Dirt.”

Basketball camps begin today and, Lord willing, we will have more opportunities to walk the cross and share the gospel during the week.

To the seventeen of you who are home now: thank you for an amazing first week! We miss you already and wish that you were all still here!

Please pray for the gospel to go forth in power this week during the camps and cross walks.

The BLOG will be updated this week as often as we’re able.
