I just wanted to say a quick word about all of the recent happenings in Kenya...
For those of you who don't know, there was a bomb that exploded in Gikomba market yesterday, killing ten people. Due to threats, a British tourist company has pulled its tourists out of the country.
First of all, I would like to clarify that the Wheels team is not in any of the high-risk areas, nor do we have any plans to stay in any of them. We are several hours outside of Nairobi, in small towns that are a much lower risk.
Mrs. Rispin has many contacts in Kenya, many missionary friends, and she has contacted them and been reassured that we are safe here. No one else has been pulled from the country, the media just got a hold of this story.
I just wanted to let y'all know that the team is very aware what has happened. We get warnings like this via e-mail from the STEP program and trust Mrs. Rispin completely to keep us safe.
However, we ask for prayers for both the families affected by the blast, and for us, as we continue to follow God even in places that are outside our comfort zone.
Love you guys!
