It's a little late but...

...the team is home! We sure missed them! They got home late Monday night. Chris came in the church a little bit yesterday and was talking about their travels and their work. I can't wait until Sunday when they share with the church body! Please make it a point to be in the service Sunday morning @ 10:45!
This is the letter that Kelly Stanfield sent to all of our prayer partners!

I know this is a little late coming since the team has been home since late last night and some of you reading this have already hugged your loved one BUT for those of you who are still wondering...THEY ARE HOME!  After almost four days of traveling and one missed connection, the team safely arrived in OKC last night just before 10pm. Thank you Jesus! It will take a few days for all the team members to get their schedules back on track so please keep praying for them this week as they try to absorb all the experiences they have had in Africa and as they search for how God wants to use those times of growing, trusting and joy in their everyday lives here at home. I hope to have several, if not all, of the team members share a little bit of their journey with you over the next couple weeks so don't stop watching for these emails just yet.  
  
I have attached just one of Chris' over 1500 pictures he took while in Africa. I have only barely begun to edit all of them.  This one is the team with the Governor of Gitega Providence. 
  
On a personal note, I have extremely enjoyed getting to share the team's journey with all of you over the past two weeks! Even though I have not seen many of you and have never even met some of you, I feel like you have been my constant companions as we prayed together for the team. Everytime I would get an email or a call, I couldn't wait to get the email sent, knowing you all were waiting for the news too and that you would be praying or praising with me. Thank you just doesn't seem like enough. 


God Bless! 
Kelly Stanfield

I tried to post the picture, but was unable to. Please watch for it later today!
