We arrived safely last night into Kitale. Our fight was uneventful, just like I like them. We rested well and had an exciting day today. We were able to get into the women's prison, thank you Jesus. We had an incredible time there and we are all still processing our experience. I'll attempt to give you an overview of it. As we walked up to the prison gates we could hear the women singing a Swahili welcome song. We passed throughh the gate and were locked inside with them. We were given seats of honor as they continued to sing to us. One of the chaplens spoke and went through the Kenyan welcome formaliites. I spoke for a bit then introduced April, Linda and Peggy. They each spoke and shared part of their testimony. It was so exciteing to be back there. We gave them some gifts of a few toilitries (that they could not have otherwise) as they continued to sing to us.

The women that were in the original Celebrate Recovery step study group that I started last year wanted to sing to us. They asked us to join them and we all sang praise songs in English. To say it was an amazing expereince is such an understatment. After that we met with the women that had gone through CR, the original group plus another that they had started. They shared wtih us how they had grown and how their lives had changed.

Tomorrow morning we will attend Deliverance Church and then meet with the women's step study group in the afternoon.

Thank you so much for your prayers. We can certainly feel them and have already seen God at work here with us. Please continue to pray for us, for the work we are doing and for our team and as we begin the CR training on Monday.

I'll send another update when we can get to the cyber cafe.

Serving Him,
Jana, Linda, April and Peggy
