Heading West

Hi everyone - just wanted to give you guys a quick heads' up that I'll be leaving in just a few minutes to drive to Kisumu, in the Western part of Kenya next to Lake Victoria. Duncan and I are going to spend some time with Cornel, meet two new staff members who have recently been hired, and check up on the progress of the two CARE for AIDS centers in the region.

I would love your prayers for safe travels - if you've read my previous posts about driving here, you know that driving across the country isn't quite as simple as it might be in the States! Please pray that we would have safety on the roads and that we wouldn't come upon any unexpected difficulties that might lengthen our trip. Please also pray that we could be an encouragement to the staff and clients in Kisumu, and that we would be able to get an accurate understanding of how everything there is progressing.

Check back later this week to see how it went! Thanks so much...
