Our Kenya Team has returned home....

Hello Prayer Warriors,

Our team has returned home safely after serving the Lord in the slums of Nairobi. We were stretched and have grown as we relied on the Lord’s strength and not our own. Because we know that if left up to us, we would not have left the safety of our own homes. Thank-you all for your prayers and support.

As I sat on the plane in Amsterdam (2nd leg of trip home) waiting for take off, the pilot spoke over the intercom “folks, we have been asked to return to the gate. This is a first for me, but apparently someone fell asleep at the gate and their luggage is on board. Security is telling me that a passenger cannot be separated from their luggage. So we will either pick up the passenger or download their luggage. We will also have to top off our gas, so it should be about 20 minutes.”

You could see the passengers grumbling, not happy for the wait. When we arrived at the gate, a sleepy eyed college age young man with a baseball cap pulled almost over his eyes came aboard. The pilot returned to the intercom with an update. “Folks it’s the pilot again. As we approached the gate, a brake light came on. If it is only the “light”, we will be out of here in 20 minutes. However, if it is the brakes, it will be at least 1 hour.”

A little later the pilot said “ Folks, it appears as if it is the brakes and I will keep you informed of time, give you something to eat and we will rebook any missed connections. Then the flight attendants opened the doors and brought sandwiches and beverages on board. No one was upset because it was beyond our control.

As we taxied out 3 ½ hours later, the pilot came back on the intercom and said “Maybe it was a blessing that the passenger fell asleep at the gate.”

Give God control of your life today and always. It will relieve anxiety and stress. He wants to handle it for you. I know that He does a much better job in handling things than I do anyway!

May God richly bless you as you give your stress and anxiety to Him.

Many Blessings,

Karen McClure and the Kenya Team
