Coffee with Christine

We left for Kenya end of January for a month long missions trip. We were beyond excited as this is our first trip back as a couple since we life in June 2009. We were looking forward to meeting with missionaries, friends, and church members and the ministries that we will be part of during our time in Kenya. These are some of the pictures and special moments we had that I thought might interest my friends who read this blog :) Tony preached both services at Nairobi Christian Centre, the church of the General Superintendent of Kenya. Kathryn was dedicated as a baby in this church! We also met several bible school students who had studied with us in the layman bible school we started way back in 1993. It was such a special moment when they came up to greet us after all these years. We had a great visit with Lucy and David, the directors of the orphanage. Lucy had a hip replacement several years ago and we were so glad that she is finally pain free and happy and smili...

While we face many challenges here in the missions field, we also reap many blessings. One of the biggest blessing to us is the great school that the girls attend : Rosslyn Academy. It started many years ago as a missionary school to cater for the needs of the missionaries' kids. The school has since grown and it is now one of the best schools here in Nairobi. We are very grateful for the quality education that our girls are getting. One of the highlight of the school year is CFS (Cultural Field Studies). The kids get to camp out someplace in the country to learn more about the country they live in. This year, the 7th graders went to Elsamere Park and Crescent Island. You can tell from the photos that they had a great time! They visited a local school and played soccer with the kids. Sports is such great way for kids to get together! These are dung critters..having a feast, I suppose....eewwwww... Miss Gac, she's a great teacher and Vickie loves her! She taught Kathryn...
