Africa update

Larry is doing well!
They are spending their second day in the slums of Kibera tomorrow. Wayne and Terry will be joining them. Thursday they will be with Wayne and Terry and the Mogra Star orphanage all day.

He said that Sunday was a challenge for him because he was asked to preach to a church of over 1,000. He said it was very hard to be so removed from all of the people. They were escorted in and out. If any of you know Larry he hates to be treated special because someone views him as a Minister(especially because he was American it was even more like royalty). He would rather be with the people, talking with them, praying for them and getting to know them not preaching at them. He did not buck the way they did it though and he expressed to me that despite being separated he felt like the Lord put something in his heart to say.

The team has been separated some throughout the day to visit as many churches and people as possible. They came together Sunday night and had a good time swapping stories and encouraging one another.

On a sad note~ Tuesday they were brought a little girl who was about 5 years old. Her father passed away with Aids a year ago and Monday night her mother passed away as well. She was now an orphan and they had not told her yet. They brought her to the ministry for people to love on her and pray for her. Larry said it ripped his heart out. He has been faced with poverty and sickness he has never seen before and I can hear it through his e-mails.

Please continue to pray for his health and safety.
