First time to Internet, We are in Nairobi and had one of the most amazing trips of our lives. We look forward to seeing everyone soon! We will be in the slums today and it is one of the more dangerous areas around. Please continue to keep us in prayer. God bless

LAST DAY

Mrs Nichole Marcell updates:
The team will be starting their journey back to Lafayette tomorrow, Tuesday, at about 2pm our time. They have had the time of their lives. Last night which was 3am their time, I text them the Saints game updates. They stayed up and celebrated with the Masai as the Saints WON!!!! WHO DAT!!!
But they still have another day of powerful ministry ahead. And they need our prayers:
Text from Mike (my brother-in-law): Made it to Nairobi safe, sleeping under mosquito nets, going to orphanages tomorrow....has been demon possession there.

African Safari Breakdown!

...............possible scenario.......



Update from Africa Team at 12am Sunday their time: "Long day of safari. We
broke down. Had to work on truck with lions 100 yards away. Made it
back safe. ......" Then he proceeded to tell me to text them with
SAINTS game points every quarter even though it will be in the early
morning hours over there.....he said "If ...we are gonna be awakened by hyenas anyway we can be awakened for SAINT updates".

Day 10

Update
Another day filled with reaching the unreached. Went souvenir shopping. Safari tomorrow......
Mrs. Marigold, the missionary we are working with there, our team is like the "pioneer" team. We are going into unreached territory to bring the Good News of the Gospel and see people come to Jesus. There is another team following us that will be going to these places to pray and appoint pastors in the villages we have gone to so that discipleship continues and works for the Lord like churches or outreaches are established. Let's continue to pray that our team will bring light into dark areas.
The picture on this post is Mike and Marigold Cheshier, the couple hosting our team. Let's continue to pray for them as well.

Text from Africa: Today we went way out into the bush about 2 hrs deeper than ever before, some never seeing white people, 130+ salvations...One medical team arrived at a village where we were and the chief turned them away saying "no need to come here, Jesus just came to our village and we have been healed" (From Pastor Shawn Marcell)

Posting from Pastor Shawn Marcell:

Africa is amazing. Words cannot express it. Everyone is healthy and doing great. Last night we hunted wilder beast and zebra. And a lion killed a wilder beast right outside of camp last night. Monkies run around us on the fence. And today we went to a school and ministered to over 600 people. Almost all responded to Christ. We also went to Masai villages. Their houses are made of manure and hay and sticks. The children were very skinny (like you see on t.v.). We ministered and prayed with them as well. We also prayed for healing for many many. Tomorrow, myself, and a few of the guys will be walking 3-4 miles cutting through the Bush to minister. Please keep us all in prayer. It's incredible. You can feel the Spirit of God here tremendously. All you have to depend on here is God.

The Team!

Sunday 1/17

Word from Africa team: First day complete, was amazing. Camp set up and all is well. We are in our tent for the night, can hear animals and insects everywhere...hope the fires hold...LOL (NM)

Masai Tribe

"Africa team made it through customs at about 11pm our time last night----8am their time and were getting ready to take a 5 hour ride to the Masai Mara Bush to begin their day. Pray for them to get over "jet-lag" quickly" NM
