We have heard about a Day Camp for youth which will be held the same week that the Lutherwood Day Camp will be going on at Grace in Corvallis. How exciting is that! We hope to at least bring pictures home to share with the children of Grace - maybe we can communicate electronically.
I was encouraged to see how the definition of mission work has come to include the concept of accompaniment - meaning we are building relationships, respecting and building on local leadership and practices, and learning and receiving information from the communities we will be staying with. Please visit the www.elca.org website to find more information on ELCA Global Mission.
Thank you for all the support!
I've heard indication (but nothing firsthand) that the group was delayed at Dulles, so 9 people missed the connecting flight from Zurich to Nairobi. Ursula and Sean, who had been visiting in Germany, were able to make the scheduled flight to Kenya.
ReplyDeleteI'm confident that despite the travel hiccups, everyone is safe. Internet availability may be delaying a direct update from them.
I hope everything else works out smoothly for the entire group. Our love goes with you.
