I feel like I really experienced the divine favor of God today. We have been going back & forth for weeks about this upcoming trip to Kenya. It's been on and off a few times now, depending on who is wanting to go, who has backed out, who doesn't have the funds, etc. I had decided we just weren't going to get to go until 2010.
Well, Eddie really felt like God spoke to him this week to go, so I booked tickets today for us and two of our staff pastors/musicians. Here's the weird part. I just looked on Northwest's website. The exact same tickets I booked this morning have been re-classified and are now $5,600 more (for four people)!!! I feel like God worked it out for us just in time to get the flights we want at a great price. In fact, I paid less than we have paid since 2005.
Is there a particular mission you visit while there?
We have 37 churches in Kenya & Uganda that are "Love and Truth" Churches. We go to train pastors and their wives. Usually we have about 200 pastors from western Kenya/eastern Uganda that attend the conferences. Then we usually do the Sunday service at our Bishop's church in Bukempe.
