Feb '23 Missions Trip #1

Surprise! The trip has started! It’s been a crazy adventure with trusting Jesus as our Kenya team heads to Africa. The original plan was to leave at noon on Wednesday, but Delta cancelled the flight’s yesterday (Tuesday) before the snow storm even started in Minnesota! The trip leader and LFK President, Randy, had to rebook 22 flights with our travel agent for a new departure within 6 hours. 6 HOURS! We had to divide our team in half. 11 team members left at 7:30pm and 11 team members at 10:30pm flying to 2 different connecting spots in Europe. It was a scramble as everyone had to get off work or out of school early then totally rearrange their plans to leave one day early! People had to get Covid tests done, pack their 3 bags, get to the airport in 2 1/2 hours, get checked in and ready to fly out! Travel agent did an amazing job of rebooking 22 people in a very short amount of time to make the flights, but not enough seats on one flight, so 2 different flights and different airlines. It was a great day of trusting Jesus, being flexible, and taking on adaptable, flexible leadership. One team went to Paris and the other to Amsterdam for connections. God has incredible things in store for the team plus they now get a bonus day in Kenya!
