Hello Everyone,
We have been here at Harrisburg Discipleship Center for almost three weeks now. A lot has changed in each of our lives. We're adjusting to living in the city, sitting in sessions, and having about fifty people in one house. But God has been faithful in helping us to get used to the change and in revealing Himself to us in our individual as well as corporate times of prayer and worship.
A little overview of what our week looks like: Monday through Thursday mornings we usually have a session from 9:15-12:00. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings we have a session from 7:00-9:00. Tuesday and Friday we have language study. On Monday there is work duties around the house and life group, a fun time to bond as a team. Tuesdays and Thursdays is community outreach from 3:00-6:00. Our team and the Hong Kong team volunteer at the Center for Champions during this time. It's an after school program to help the local kids with their homework and to share with them about Christ. They are a lot of kids, with a lot of energy, who need a lot of attention! The best thing we can do for them is pour out our love and be an example of what we preach-which isn't always easy and I know we've failed many times! Wednesday's we have book discussion, when we break into groups of about five or six people to discuss certain chapters of the Bible or a section in a book that we were assigned to read the week before. It helps us to hear out other people's opinions on certain topics of what we read and to come to a better understanding of what it means. We also have team cell on Wednesday afternoons. Friday mornings we have a time of intercession. At about 11:00 we gather back together as a group and talk about what we learned or how we felt about what the speakers spoke on the week before. Friday afternoons we have life group and work duties again. Most of Saturday and Sunday is free. For about three hours on Saturday we have outreach prep time and on Sunday evenings, a time of worship. That's a brief overview of what our week looks like.

As most of you know, we are no longer known as the Guinea-Bissau team. Our destination has changed and we are now known as the Kenya team. Our first reaction was shock. But when we heard that we were going to Kenya we got really excited! We believe that God's hand is really in this change. One of the reasons that we believe this is because of the fact that the week before John Mutisya, from Kenya, had come to HDC to stay until the first part of November. It has been awesome to have him here and we have learned much about the culture in Kenya. He has also become our language teacher. We had planned to learn Kriole, the language we would have been speaking in Guinea-Bissau, from a book-we had no teacher of CDs. God has sent us a Swahili teacher! His timing is always perfect!

We'll try to keep you informed throughout training and outreach. God is truly alive and well-we are definitely seeing proof of that here and pray that you are in your life as well.
God bless.
