Let the excitement begin...

Today on a run, Kera and I realized that there are roughly 2 and a half months until Kenya! For some reason I was thinking it was like 6 months away! WOW! Then we started searching for pictures of Lodwar, the village where we will be staying, and other regions of Kenya. Looks pretty amazing. Hopefully we won't have any run-ins with the local lions...rarrrrh, right? I'd rather pet the giraffe, wouldn't you agree, Kera?

Anyway, we are truly excited to be so blessed to have this opportunity! A lot of prayerful planning will go into this trip. Our first step is to organize some local fundraising events, so keep checking back for updates!

Here are some pictures from other mission trips to Lodwar, Kenya.

We're taking the plunge!

Today is Easter Sunday and what more appropriate time for us to begin this blog. Happy Easter!

We're taking the plunge and we're inviting you along for the ride! That's right, my sister, Deena and I are taking on a HUGE challenge this summer--we're on a mission! We've signed ourselves up for a trip of a lifetime--an opportunity to bring change to a region of the world that is much less fortunate than our own. This summer we are travelling to Lodwar, Kenya with the Orthodox Christian Mission Center July 3-17th to provide aid and to help construct a church for 150 newly converted Christians. We've created this blog to keep you in tune with our progress and to share this wonderful journey with you.

In our blog we'll share with you: why we're doing this, our preparations for the trip, our progress on fundraising, interesting information and facts about the region and people, and of course the trip itself.

Please check back often to learn more about this adventure!
