Wrapping Up in the Kwale District

Over the last couple of days, we've spent time in final meetings with several of our contacts here. After much dialogue with Terry and some people from back home, we have a lot of good leads to discuss when we get home. We are still not sure about the final details of what our future involvement will be here in Digoland. I hope that you've enjoyed being part of this exciting beginning, and I hope that you will remain interested and involved in some way as we go forward.

Tomorrow is our final day in this region, and we will spend it with Terry in a small Digo village. We will be visiting with girls who are potential participants in a future project. 

Wednesday we start our journey back home, via Nairobi where we will have two important meetings. We will be meeting with Noah Gitau who will be explaining the role of the Association of Vineyard Churches in East Africa as it pertains to our involvement here. 

We will also be meeting with Joseph Mwalonya, a Digo Christian that we met and befriended during our first trip to Kwale in July 2002. He is currently attending Pan African Christian University for his BA in Theology. Our church recently decided to help sponsor him through school.

After these meetings, we will be flying home! 

Now that we are leaving the coast, we are not sure whether we will have internet during our last few days here. So, thank you for reading our blog during this month of May, and thank you for all your support. 

It has been quite an amazing month, and we look forward to what the lasting results will be. 

With all the challenges in full consideration, I can still honestly say that this has been a rewarding and wonderful month for us in Kenya. We really have appreciated our time here, and we thank you once more for helping us make this happen!

I think you uys did an amazing job of networking and researching in the time you were there. I can't wait to get home and start working through all the info and getting things rolling! I hope your travel home is uneventful and restful! Enjoy your last few days!

It's hard to believe your time is at an end there! Will continue to pray for the remainder of your time there, particularly your safe travel home. God bless you both.
