On January 25, 2007, seven of us will depart chilly Madison, WI to cross the equator and into the Kenyan summer. This team includes, Rich and Martha Henderson, Chris and Becky Dolson, Mike and Gail Anderson, and myself, James Bigham.While in Kenya, we will spend several days visiting our partner in ministry, Beacon of Hope, around Nairobi. While there, we will witness in person the devastating face of poverty by doing things such as going on home visits in Kibera, a Nairobi slum of over 1 million people .
Following the Kenyan leg of the trip, James will return to Madison, and the remaining 6 members of the team will cross back over the equator en route to Jordan to work with individuals we support as a church. After a few days in Jordan, they will move on to Israel to see Tim and Jessica Mackie who are currently living in Jerusalem. This time will be spent exploring the possibility of forming a partnership with a ministry in Israel.
During this trip, these key leaders desire to witness firsthand what God is doing at our partner sites and to dream about how we might expand Blackhawk's presence around the globe.

My family will pray for your trip that God will reveal to you specific needs of the people and places you visit, that God will reveal to we people at Blackhawk what He wants us to do regarding those needs, and pray for your safety during your trip.
Praying for you as you are on your way that God will protect and care for all of you. You should be in London now or on you way to Nairobi - enjoy every minute - get up and "exercise" even if it's only a trip to the "loo" - sleep so you are rested for the coming visits and all God has planned for the team! /All my love!
