Packing Party

Each trip brings with it a packing party.  Tonight was the night.  We gathered together and sorted, repackaged supplies, packed bins, weighed the bins, and made prayer books with messages and pictures from church members.
Prioritizing what makes it into the bins is tough with so many needs among the children and our hosts.  We will take with us VBS craft supplies, a bag for each child with a few school supplies and a wooden cross necklace, linens, toothbrushes, children's clothing, and more.

So exciting that we made 30 prayer books, packed 12 bins, and made one big step forward in our preparations.  Kathy leaves for Kenya this Friday with a group of students and fellow professor from JMU.  Travelling mercies on Kathy!
Please pray for the safe transportation of these bins of supplies for their intended uses at Tumaini and Huruma children's homes.  Just over 2 weeks and we'll be on our way!
