I am so excited! Scott now has Wifi and I just realized I can actually update this from the little house on campus that Jon and I are staying in! I will try to upload some photos after this post.
So today, we woke up to find quite a few sickly people. Linda Halbert, Claire, Michelle Fackler, and Rachel Hailstone are all down with some kind of stomach bug or virus. Claire and Linda seem to be doing better and I think now Rachel and Michelle are making progress. Luckily, this year, we have Dr. Voelker along with us and so he has been able to check on them and give them appropriate medications and make sure they're getting plenty of fluids. Anyway, please keep the group in your prayers as things like this seem to always make the rounds through the dorm.
Last night we thoroughly embarrassed Quincy for his birthday by giving him 18 birthday kisses on the cheek from all the girls and a big bear hug from Brian. Ellie had hand-made him a card that everyone had signed and Jon bought chocolate and cokes for the whole group. We love having Quincy along on the trip as he is such a wonderfully called preacher and a great person to get to know.
As I said yesterday, all the luggage has arrived so that was a huge praise. I think that's the fastest we've ever received lost luggage! In general, this group has been working so well together and getting a lot accomplished.
Today, we all broke into groups and went to various churches. Most of the men and senior boys preached or gave their testimonies. This afternoon, two different groups went out. We sent most of the Kajairdo team to the local woodcarvers village since they won't have the chance to go once they leave for the Masaii village. The rest of the team went on a hike up the hills behind Scott seminary. I'm sure they will come back with lots of great stories and photos.
The Millet kids are all doing just great for those of you praying for them. They are LOVING Africa. Marshall has shook almost everyone's hand that he's met and all have had a great attitude. They had a great time in church this morning watching the different choirs and watching Dad preach and Max sing.
Thank you for your continued prayers. This trip consists of so many more people than just those who are here. We are so thankful for the many of you who helped us get here and who are praying for us and our ministry.
For the group

Saturday morning - June 11
Huge praise! ALL of the missing luggage has arrived at the airport so we sent Mitch Voelker with the driver to pick it up in Nairobi. This morning we sang happy birthday to Quincy and started the day out with a devotion on James 1 about perseveringly through trials and the result of joy.
This morning we had our first session of vbs and the team was SO fantastic! Lizzie and Max did a great job leading the music. Michelle Fackler did a wonderful job introducing things and keeping the kids on track. Tobias, Will, Lauren, and Lizzie were our main skit characters and Gunnar Lopez played the important part of the rare African Blue Cheeked Bee Eater. Paige and Catherine taught the lesson about The Lords prayer and then Sarah Dyer and Brandon Galvan had a little lion craft to show them how God listens and they all loved it.
The rest of the group spent the morning clearing and leveling the land for the new preschool. This afternoon, the vbs crew switches to work and some of the workers will come play some games with the vbs kids. At 4 we have a challenge match of soccer with the locals. We are getting lots of pictures and video which I will eventually try to upload. Lunch now. Thanks for paring for us!

Friday, June 10
Jambo from Africa! Thank you Jill Cox for relaying my message that we arrived safely last night. I just could not drag my tired self out at 1 in the morning to go find a wifi spot. Our flights over were fine and fairly uneventful other than losing some luggage. And yes, for those of you keeping track, this is the second year in a row that Quincy has been the unfortunate victim of luggage loss. Thankfully, he is very mature and patient about it.
Today,we slept in a bit and had our breakfast and morning meeting where we met the new president of Scott and the students who will be accompanying us as translators. We took a tour of the college and saw what we will be working on this year - helping to build a new preschool facility that is close by to Scott and where many of the students children attend.
After lunch we set out in groups to about 8 different schools. Many of the students gave their testimonies. I haven't heard from all the groups yet but Ron Crosby told us that in his group, Brandon Galvan and Stephanie Fackler both did an awesome job sharing. My group went to a local primary school where Catherine Megison and Evan McClay both spoke and Kevin led music. I also heard that Peter Bjorkman gave a very powerful testimony where 5 people came to Christ afterward. We are all now back at Scott, finishing dinner, and getting ready for all the goings on of tomorrow. In the morning we will start up the work project and also start the first day of VBS.
This morning, Jon shared his main prayer for this trip, which is that we would have JOY in serving. This is a good indication of a close walk with God and proper perspective of the bigger picture. Please pray with us for this as we continue our ministries.
We are all looking forward to a good nights sleep and productive day tomorrow. Hope to have some photos tomorrow.
P.s. The Millet kids are all doing great!

Safe Arrival!
Hi everyone-
This is actually Jill Cox updating on behalf of Jenni Millet! GOOD NEWS: The team has arrived safely in Kenya, and they've already traveled from Nairobi to Scott Theological College. Everyone is now snug in their beds in the dorms, so we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief. :)
Jenni said it was a great trip over! However, she did pass along one (very big) prayer request... while all the people made it to Nairobi, not all of the luggage did. Ohhhh, the glory of transatlantic travel. Sigh. Poor Max Millet, Marie Millet, Catherine Megison, Michelle Fackler, and Quincy Thompson were the unfortunate victims, as well as seven supply tubs and the sound system (!!!). So, please pray for the airlines to get these lost items to Scott as soon as possible.
I'm sure Jenni will be updating the blog sometime tomorrow morning (our time) so check back regularly to see what the Lord is already doing in Machakos! I can't wait to hear the first day's report!
In Christ Alone,
Jill Cox

Thanks in advance,
Jenni Millet for the group
Saturday, June 4
Please pray for our final meeting and the packing day preparations on Sunday. Pray that we will get all the necessary supplies and items to donate all packed in a timely manner. Pray that the Lord will be exalted in all that we do. Praise God for His never-ending love for us and that He seeks the heart of man continuously.
Friday, June 3
Please pray for the final preparations that we are all going through to prepare for the trip. Please take time to Thank the Lord for His faithfulness in providing just what we need for the trip. I am already amazed at what he is doing. Pray that we all can have some needed Sabbath before we leave as well. That we will be renewed and refreshed before we leave.
Thurs. June 2
I have attached the current prayer group roster. There have been some changes to make note of. Please take time to pray for each member of your specific group today and to uplift each member each day this final week.
Wed. June 1
Please pray for each one in the group. Sometimes during this last week doubts about the trip can arise. Please pray for boldness and perseverance for each one as the enemy often wants to discourage us in our final preparations. I have actually find this encouraging as I believe that the Lord has great and wonderful work for us to do that the enemy wants to hinder. Let us encourage and bear one another’s burdens.
Tues., May 31 -
Please pray for our work project at Scott. It has recently changed to working on elementary school classrooms for their ministry for local children. Scott has recently lost some enrolled students who were pulled out due to the poor conditions of the current classrooms. We have sent over some money to help them construct new additions. We will be working on these while we are there. Please pray for the school as they prepare the work project and for us as we try to help them complete this project while we are still in Machakos.
Monday, May 30 -
Please pray that we will have the heart of the Lord as we finalize preparations and go to serve. Pray that He will open our hearts to those in need both spiritually and physically. Pray that He will open our minds to understand and appreciate the Kenyan’s and their culture. Pray that He will give our group a Spirit of love and joy that will be noticeable to all who encounter us.
Sun., May 29 -
Please pray for the VBS team as they meet today to practice the material that they will be teaching from. Pray that the Lord will bless their efforts and that they will be able to see children come to Christ.
Sat., May 28 -
Pray for the country of Kenya. Pray for the leaders of the country that they will make wise and God – honoring decisions that are in the best interest of the people of Kenya. Pray that the people of this land will be thirsty for the word of God and will be able to see clearly and distinguish between the truth and the false systems of man.
Friday, May 27 -
Praise the Lord. Many of the details we have been working towards finalizing are coming together. The Lord is providing. The Lord is good. Again, thanks to James Ndungu who has been hard at work on many of the trip details. We are now finalizing many of the details in Kajiado. Please uplift Pastor Charles in Kenya, who will be traveling to Kajiado on Monday to finalize our plans. Please pray for his safety in travel, that the final coordination of our lodging, food and ministries will be easily taken care of. He is also trying to set up an orphanage visit as well as coordinate plans for our group to build a very simple structure for a new church in a Masai Village.
Thurs. May 26 -
Please pray for Scott Theological College as they finalize plans for our work project. We will be helping to add an addition to their kitchen area.

Wed. May 25 -
Please pray for all of us collecting items for the trip. Pray that the Lord will provide just the right supplies and materials that we will need and more importantly others that we will serve will need.

Please pray that the Lord will open doors for him not only to provide lifesaving skills but also opportunities to share about the love of Christ.
Sun. May 22 -
Please pray for James and Mary Ndungu who are helping us to coordinate the trip to Kenya. Although they are not able to travel with us this year, they have been very gracious to do much work for the group in order to set -up our ministries. Please pray for them this summer as they have a daughter leaving for college and they are finishing up their own schooling as well. Pray for the two individuals ( I do not know their names yet) who are on the ground in Kenya helping to coordinate our ministries.
Sat., May 21 -
Please pray for my family as we prepare for travel to Kenya. Pray for Jenni and I as we coordinate the trip as well as prepare our younger children for this new adventure for them. Pray for Max, Marshall, Mikayla and Marie as they learn to step out in faith. Pray that the Lord will provide for our special considerations throughout the trip. There are obviously many situations that our children will need extra care and help with. Pray for all of us to have patience and to find joy in the travel and the busyness of the work. Please especially pray that my children will see their unique calling to serve the Lord and that they will understand that they can be used in a dynamic way just by being willing to serve and allow the Lord to complete who they are.
Friday, May 20 -
Pray for our ministry in Kajiado. We still have many details to work out on that end. We would like to send people there to minister, but we are not sure what that looks like at this time.

Pray that we will know exactly how we can support this new church and how to encourage the new believers in this area.
Thurs., May 19 -
Praise the Lord: We have received quite a few donations that will now cover all of our large outstanding bills. The Lord has generously provided funds as we have raised over $22,000 in just three days. Please continue to pray that the rest of the funding will come through to cover our ministry needs and goals. The Lord is good and has and will continue to bless our efforts and prayers. Let us all go before the Lord with Thanksgiving.

Pray for the preparation of personal testimonies by each team member. Pray that the Lord will give each member the correct words to say and the boldness to share when the appropriate time comes.

Please pray for the Springs of Hope Orphanage. Please pray for the many young children that they take care of. As of last year they had 45 children.

Please pray for the many workers that help to take care of the children each day. Please uplift Mary Musyoka the director of the Orphanage. Pray specifically that they will be able to continue to raise funds for their new facility where they hope to build better housing for the children.

Pray that the Lord will meet their financial needs and that they will stay steadfast to their mission to train spiritual leaders to influence Africa for Christ.
