The evening began with the first large group meeting for Celebrate Recovery in our sister church in Mombasa, Crossroads Fellowship. Jeff came on the trip to help them prepare for this beginning. It was a wonderful first night for them!

With two days left before we depart, I will be wrapping up all that needs to be done. We greatly appreciate your prayers for us!
