Just wanted everyone to know that we are now in Nairobi, Kenya for debrief.  We will be here until Sunday, when we will then head out to Tanzania for month 5 of The Race!  Everyone is safe and healthy!
 
Now…to let you know of some changes.  Some major changes have happened in our squad over the last few days.  First of all, our squad leader, Allison, will be leaving us in a few weeks.  She has done the Race once already, and her purpose here with us was to help to raise up new leaders.  So, she will be heading home soon, and to take her place, squad mates Kelly Chadwick and Kyla Cornelius have been chosen as the new squad leaders.  They will lead our squad through the rest of the Race. 
Other changes:
Our teams have been rearranged.  This was a change that leadership really felt like was from the Lord.  After 4 months, they noticed that teams may function better with different people placed together according to people’s respective gifts and talents, etc.  SO…Dunamis is no more.  My new team is: Neil Bruinsma, Dennis Ho, Carly Farver, Erin Winget, Jessica McVey, and Michelle McDonald.  I am excited about this change, and although I will really miss former teammates Sara Choe, Brenda Wilchowy, and Ben Eppinger, I look forward to what God is going to do through us throughout the rest of this trip.  Please be in prayer for us as this is a pretty big adjustment to have to work with.  We have to relearn how to work with each other, and the team dynamics are totally different.
 
Thanks for all your prayers, support, and encouragement!  I love and miss all of you!
