Join us in prayer as our team of 13 heads out on Friday, August 20th, for Eldoret, Kenya.

We will be traveling first to Nairobi, then catching a quick flight to Eldoret, where we will be serving with the Lawrence family and Calvary Chapel of Eldoret.

From August 24th-27th, the church will be hosting the Calvary Chapel East Africa Pastors and Leaders Conference. We will be helping the church by hosting all of the attendees, doing children’s ministry, evangelism, and anything else that might come up while we are there!

We will be returning to the states on Sunday, August 29th.

We would love for you to partner with us in prayer for the trip. Please see below for specific things that you can be in prayer about each day.

We will be posting update videos to the church’s social media accounts, so keep an eye out for those! If you do not use social media, those videos will be posted here on the site after our return.
