Training in Sendafa

(7/15) I write this update Wednesday in the wee hours of the morning with the howls of the hyenas in the back ground. 
Fifty5five teams (Kenyan and US) are reunited. Thank you for your prayers. We all arrived safely on Tuesday.
We are very excited to see the Lord work. We had originally intended to go to Tanzania as well as Ethiopia. But, the Lord had different plans for us. It is beautiful to see His plan carried out. Our Kenyan Team will finish their training with us and will take over training in Kenya and maybe more. Liston is a great man of prayer and faith. I feel confident God will use him and his/His team in a mighty way. Thank you to Oak Ave Church for their contribution that helped make it possible for them to travel and meet us.
I'd like to introduce our team.  Our Kenyan Team is Bishop Liston, Sophia, Mary, and Seth. This will be Liston's 5th time with us. Two of those he coordinated the training. The others have attended 2-3 times.  They are all from Kissii.
Our American Team consists of Becky Jo and Linda who are the primary trainers. Bob who's primary duties are to video the training to allow us to get the training to those who we cannot travel to for safety reasons and to leave as a training tool for those we do train. LaVon is part of the core team. She'll be working closely with our Kenyan teams on prep work as well as numerous parts of training. She helps it run like a well oiled machine. Lastly myself, Theresa. I have the privilege of coordinating the trip and the details that come with it. Thank you to all those who support our fundraisers and individual contributions. Thank you to our families at Touchstone Christian Fellowship, Warehouse of Elk Grove, and Lakeside who are instrumental in supporting us. 
Our loved ones make a huge sacrifice supporting us as we travel abroad a couple times a year. For those who have loved ones on the trip please know we are having phone issues but may have wifi. So an emails may reach them. As awesome as it is to unplug it is also valuable to get encouragement from home.
Thank you all for your prayer support.  You are the backbone of this ministry.
Please pray for the teacher training over the next 3 days.
