I am so excited that we are finally here!! Depending on when you read this, I may be on a plane heading to Kenya right now! Words cannot begin to explain the excitement I feel. So many answered prayers and so much on the horizon to experience. God is incredibly good.
I want to thank each and every one of you for the ways you have contributed to getting me here. I truly would not be on a plane right now if it weren't for your support and prayers and encouragement.
I am so excited to share all the things that God is doing in Nairobi in the coming days, but give me grace if I can't update every single day -- I might be too busy praising God :) But I will try to post something here on the days that I can.
In the meantime, please keep me and my team in your prayers. Some specifics today would be:
Safe and smooth travels
Our tight layover in Paris (which is only an hour and a half!!)
Clearing customs
Connecting with the local team in Nairobi
Thank you all so much and praise be to God!!
Blessings,
Shawna Applequist
I just figured out how to comment! We've been praying for you and your team on this trip. Love, Tia
