Hey Kenya Team!

It’s finally time to give you a few more details about your trip! This Summer is going to be incredible. You’re going to see God do great things in you, and in the people of Kenya. It will be hard at times, but know that it’s all worth it. Get excited!

I’m so excited to tell you that you will be working with Pastor Gideon and Deliverance church in Busia. While on the World Race, I too was in Busia and can attest to the fact that the people at Deliverance church are amazing! They’ll quickly become like family.

 An idea of what ministry may look like:

• Teaching/singing in church
• Sharing the gospel at outdoor crusades
• Sharing the gospel with people in surrounding villages
• Construction or manual labor, if there is a need
• Hospital/school/prison visits
• Building relationship with the local people

Men should dress moderately casual at all times (t-shirts, long pants, shirts – polo or collared). Ladies should dress modestly and dresses or skirts need to pass the knee. You may be asked to cover tattoos or piercings during ministry.

A cultural rule is that you should always extend your hand to greet your hosts, or any people you meet.

Languages spoken are English and Swahili.

There is a general packing list that can be found in your Profile by going to Mobilization Info tab and then to the preparation section. In addition to those items, you should also bring: 

• Health Information, including proof of Yellow Fever inoculation if required.
• Copies of ID and passport packed in various places.

  These are already listed on the general packing list but I want to emphasize them:

• Sleeping bag and pillow
• Sweater or jacket
• Headlamp (flashlights are fine too…but headlamps are AWESOME because you get to have both hands free. Hands-free is good for going to the bathroom outside at night, reading while your teammates are sleeping, and even for dance parties!
• Water bottle (Nalgene brand is really great.)
• Outlet Adaptor (You need an adaptor, not a converter. You probably only need a converter if you're bringing something high powered like a blow dryer. You can get an international adaptor at Wal-mart or Target.)

As always, if you have any questions about anything listed here, please let me know!
