Today was graduation day at New Life in Bomani. It was our hottest day this week but we enjoyed celebrating new beginnings for these young people.
I was privileged to represent Fox River
The processional. It is a slow rhythmic step that brought lots of laughter for the adults bringing up the rear!

Awarding the certificate and the backpack with Bible from Fox River

We had a delicious lunch with the teachers. I had the privilege to pray over them before we left.
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!

We finished the evening with our partners and friends, Bechtels and Owanos.
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!
