Finally, after months of planning and fund raising, we are on our way. Our flight leaves Toronto at 11:15 p.m. We arrive in London Heathrow Airport at 11:25 a.m. (their time) on August 14th.
We have an 8 hour layover there and hope to do some sight seeing in London. Our Kenya Airways flight leaves at 8 p.m. (their time) and arrives in Nairobi, Kenya at 6:30 a.m. We then hop on another Kenya Airways plane that will take us to Kigali and we arrive there at 8:10 a.m. on Saturday or 2:10 a.m. TO time.
We have heard from Grace and she reports that we have a great, but very busy schedule in Rwanda!
Thank you for all your support as we prepared for this wonderful Mission Trip. We are definitely going as God's ambassadors and ambassadors for Fallingbrook - The Church at the Centre.
We thank you in advance for your continued prayer support. Please pray especially now for safety while travelling and that we will all arrive there with all ..and we mean "all" our luggage.
Next time you hear from us....WE WILL BE IN RWANDA !!!!! Praise God!!!

An update from Grace Fong, via email:
ReplyDeleteThe team has arrived in Nairobi safely. There is a Kenya Airways strike! So, there are no flights out of Nairobi to Kigali. The strike came out of nowhere.
John (national Rwanda field staff) spoke to Don and Don said Kenya Airways is providing little information on when the flights out of Nairobi will begin again. John has given Don the telephone number to CBM's team leader in Kenya.
The airline will either provide them with accomodations or CBM staff will arrange for a guesthouse for them to stay.
Pray that the team can fly out from Nairobi to Kingali tomorrow.
