Beginning.........

Today is the beginning.............

It is the beginning of many things actually, but for the purpose of this blog, it is the beginning of my Learning Tour to Kenya for MCC. The purpose of the trip is to learn about and visit some of the projects that MCC funds in Kenya. We will be visiting peace-building, HIV/AIDS and sand dam projects. 
I am anticipating that I will be seeing and hearing many things that will have a profound impact on my life..............I consider it a privilege to be going to a place where I will be entrusted with many people's stories - they are a sacred trust! My prayer is that I will adequately listen and communicate all that I see and hear. I want to see through God's eyes, not through my North American lens - I want to feel with the heart of God and understand what moves Him! So many thoughts, so many hopes and desires, so many questions.............

So the journey has begun............ 
I just need to finish packing and in 12 hours I will be on a plane to England to meet the rest of the team - then off to Nairobi, Kenya. 
I will update this blog as I have time and computer connection while in Kenya.
