Sudan

Travis and I spent last week Feb 1-6 in Nairobi getting more clarity and training for what we are in charge of over in Entebbe. We handle the finances, booking, scheduling and giving quotes, that is in addition to Travis flying. We had a great time visiting with AIM Air staff. We also enjoyed meeting a variety of people at the Mayfield guest house where we stayed for the week. Please say a prayer for a young lady named Corina who is in the Nairobi hospital with Pneumonia (I want to call it septic ? anyways it has gotten into her blood). She is a medical student from Switzerland who was helping out at a clinic in Rwanda. It seems that the Doctors aren't giving her parents much hope for her recovery. Her parents, friend and boyfriend were all staying with us and could really use prayer during this hard time.

Instead of flying straight back to Entebbe we were able to take a flight up to Sudan delivering goods and dropping of a passenger. The man who we dropped off is helping to put up a radio tower for a Christian radio station to begin broadcasting in the near future.

Old Volcano outside of Nairobi in the Rift Vally. It was INCREDIBLE to see from the air.

Stopover in Duke lead to the whole village coming out to see the action. We dropped off supplies for a clinic that was started there by some lost boys (boys who wondered though the country alone seeking safely during the war in Sudan between the North and the South)

These ladies posed for me. I can't help but wonder what their stories are, they look around my age.

I let the ladies look at their picture which then cause everyone to leave the plan, that was old news and come get a look at the pictures.
