** The team is off! The team arrived at the hotel at 1:00 am after successful flights. They had a chance to get blessed before they headed out at BCC. God was already moving as they met a new friend from Somalia, Abdi, at the airport and were able to pray for him.
We are very excited for our friends from Buffalo Covenant Church to go visit Kenya for their 2024 Missions Trip! We have a great team headed out and we can’t wait to see how God uses them.
