Welcome to our blog! Its purpose is to record the progress, thoughts, and experiences of Church of the Nativity's service project to Africa. Four young adults from Nativity are traveling to Jos and Abuja, both in Nigeria, this month. We leave in a mere 8 days, and will be in Nigeria for about two weeks, until August 27th.
This past Friday, August 3, our parents and the Blattner family gathered together for dinner and discussion about our upcoming trip. The Blattners have just returned from Nigeria, and so they shared some photos, video clips, and helpful hints for our trip. I think it calmed most, if not all, of our parents concerns. I know my parents were very thankful to speak to someone who just returned from where we would be going.
We are very excited for this trip, but now my days are filled with gathering everything we need to bring with us for the journey. Things like insect repellent (2 kinds!) and toys to give away to the children there are just some of the things on my packing list.
Please pray for us as we prepare for this life changing experience. Pray for peace, purpose and the eyes and heart to see a vision. We are going to vision cast for Church of the Nativity and so we need to be aware, alert, and able to soak in all that we can. May we be open to all the Lord has in store, and may He protect us and bless us with energy.
Be blessed,
Kristin
