Seeking God's Peace in Africa

Hello Friends,

This is a quick note to say that Davis left this morning on his way to Congo.  He is in Rwanda tonight, staying with some friends from high school who have a school there.  Tomorrow he will fly down to the border and hopefully catch a ride with some other friends from the airport – from there it’s about a 15 minute ride to Bukavu, but there is the small issue of the border-crossing J.  

He hopes to be able to connect with ELI staff and assess how ready people are for us to come and start working with them.  We are both hoping God reveals a house for us to move into and the right date for that to happen.  We are currently planning to drive from Kenya to Congo sometime around the 25^th of April.  

If you think of us this week, please pray for protection for Davis through all of the traveling and as he meets with people.  Please pray for a house and that the details of our move will fall into place.

Please also pray for us girls.  So far I have managed to drive from the airport to town, park, walk a few blocks to and from Nakumatt with a daughter’s hand in each hand and several bags of groceries over my shoulders, negotiate with a couple of boys who live on the streets in Eldoret while loading the girls and the groceries into the car and drive away, without hurting myself or anyone else – definitely evidence of the power of prayer.  Please pray that I’ll be able to handle whatever oddities come up this week.  Please also pray that the girls would sleep well at night.  

Thank you,

Jen for us Davises

P.S. – I apologize if you receive this several times, it’s because I’m not usually the one to send these and I’m hoping I’m choosing the right lists of people.
