Greetings from Nairobi, Kenya!  I am getting settled in during my first day here.  It took a series of long flights to get here,  and a seven hour time change.  I am tired but excited to see the city and see what God is doing.  

My time with God this morning included Matthew 16:24-25.  Jesus says, "if anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.  For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."  This really jumped off the page for me as I read them and thought about them.  God is calling for us to put Him first!  He will not be second.  As I look out over a foreign city this truth rings in my ear "Follow Me."  God is special and He has incredible plans in store for us.  Join me in Following Him!  

Tomorrow begins our mission of visiting the different ministries to children hosted by Compassion International. I am excited to see the kids and form relationships.  Enjoy the picture of a street here in Nairobi.

In Christ,

Aaron
