As many of you probably already know, David and I are traveling back to Kenya this July. Words can not express how excited we are to have this opportunity. We ordered our plane tickets this week and it is finally beginning to sink in that in a little over 100 days we will be in Africa. As we hugged the kids good bye last year we hoped we would see them again but we had no idea that God would make that possible again this summer. We can't wait to wrap our arms around them, sing, dance, and play again!
Last year we traveled with a group of 6, us and 4 students from UIS. This year our team has grown to 9 and everyone from last year's trip is returning! We will travel over as group of 7 and meet 2 of our students there. God really has set a passion in the hearts of the students at UIS for kids. We saw this when we traveled to Nett Lake last month and we are pumped for what he has planned when are students are reunited with (or meeting for the first time) Joel, Gladys, Maina and Jane.
If you want to know more about what are students are doing in response to last year's trip and our friend Shana's trip in 2007 check out www.jumpforjoel.org.
