So you didn't care for "What's the story," huh? Let's see, you want to hear about our mission project to Kenya? Once again our church is sending volunteers to Kenya this summer. We have three teams this time so that the logistics won't be too overwhelming. Everyone is excited, but we are running into a snag.
Back in November, we received a floor plan of the building that our church is paying to have built. The idea has been that the summer teams would be able to do some construction work on this building. But we find out that there has been much discussion and very little action. The final plan for the building still has not been approved or submitted to government authorities for permits to build. It is only two months until the first team is supposed to go. What do you think the odds are that construction will be started even?
So we are having to explore other activities we can do there. (The non-refundable tickets for all 18 people have already been bought.) One possibility would be to accompany the Kenyan college students back to their villages to do ESL or Bible school or door-to-door evangelism. Sounds exciting, but I wonder if some of our team members will be up for that. I guess we will see what God makes available, won't we?

Being diplomatic, I wanted to hear your side of the story, too. :) And where's my prize for the winning entry? LOL
As for the Kenya thing, I think your last sentence sums it up well. "I guess we will see what God makes available, won't we?"
I kept coming back to those photos and could not think of a thing!
It will be interesting to see what God does make available for this trip. The need for flexibility on the part of those who will be making this trip comes to my mind.
Sounds like whatever happens, it will be exciting!
Just don't get lost. Maybe they'll show "Ghost in the Darkness" on the plane ride over. That would make things interesting.
Africa. I'm jealous.
