Wednesday update from Sudan

This is an email I received today from Amy Rogers, Don's wife:

Hi friends,

A message was left on my cell this morning with an update for you. The team had a great flight from Nairobi to Eldoret today. They had a brief stop in Eldoret to pick up food items, water and Stephen Reech's wife who was able to travel to Sudan with the team.

They have had a great flight into Sudan and when they landed Stephen Reech was waiting for them with a truck and also a car that was hired to transport the team and their luggage. The temperature today was around 95 and it is very dry. Everyone is in good spirits and will sleep good and be ready for the busy day tomorrow. All the tents are set up and the team was eating dinner outside by the moonlight when Don called.

School is in session tomorrow so there will be lots of activity around where the team is staying. Many opportunities ahead to continue to build relationships with the students and friends in the community. The schedule for the next few days looks a bit like this:

THURSDAY

MONDAY

TUESDAY

WEDNESDAY
The team will have the day in Nairobi to rest and debrief and prepare for the journey home the next day

Thank you so much for praying for the team. God is faithful and we look forward with excitement to all that God is going to do in the coming days in and through each one of the team and the community.
