Aloha!
You are getting this update because you have expressed intent of joining me, Coach Cass, on a missions Trip to Kenya, Africa.
Last February, I had two good friends who are married. Decide to give everything up to go to Africa to become Missionaries.
I always dreamed of visiting Africa, but I didnt know when and for what. I wanted there to be a purpose.
So I was led to tell them, Hey if you are still in Africa next February, Ill be there to help out. WE ARE GOING TO AFRICA!
So here it is family. I thought it was robbery if I went by myself. So I am opening this opportunity to have a select few to join me on this mission.
Turns out they are coming back at the end of February to the states to raise money for land to start a SOS children's village in Africa. WOW! I love SOS Children's village.
So after an hour of conversation...here is the synopsis:
So these are the dates we are working on. Thursday ,Jan 31- Thursday Feb 14th. Happy Valentine's Day
We would arrive on Thursday, rest and explore a little on Friday.
Saturday morning- we would speak with refugee women from Sudan and Ethiopia
Sunday- we would accompany my friends (the married couple) to one of the churches they have planted there to see what they do.
Monday- we would go through a prep training for the rural experience ( what to expect, what we will encounter, to take away the shock factor)
Tuesday -we would leave for a rural village, Isiolo.
We would stay in 5 star hotel **according to Kenyans....probably a 2 star for us. Hey its a bed and hot water. Breakfast included.
We would help out in the village for approximately 5 day and take part on Sunday in their church service ...just to see how they worship in rural Africa.
There will be translator at each site to help.
When we get back ...we would rest and the next day go to a boys detention center where they pick up street kids. The men on the trip can play soccer and evangelize the manly way.
Also we would help with life skill activities.
Last but not least if time remaining we would have a safari experience with one big family dinner. Then going to the big Nairobi marketplace to shop.
Then...guess what...back on the plane February 14th...coming on back home.
Questions?
Cost:
We are looking at most $3000. Including place to stay, meals, transportation, and safari.
VACCINATIONS:
I have been told you MUST get the recommended vaccinations, no matter what your US doctor thinks. Im going to go with the recommendation of those who are American who live in Kenya and have not gotten sick. Therefore you MUST get your shots to go on this trip.
Hepatitis A$ 95.00Yellow Fever$ 130.00
Hepatitis B (2 doses)$ 70.00Tuberculosis $
Tetanus (w/in 6-7 yrs)$ 75.00Chicken Pox Vaccine$ 120.00
Typhoid$ 85.00**Doxycycline (50 ct)$ 20.00
Visa:
You must get your Visa 60 days in advance of the trip. Apply through the kenyan embassy in DC. You then send your physical passport to DC and they send back your visa in your passport. YOU MUST have this done in order to go on the trip. http://www.kenyaembassy.com/dcservices/appforvisaonline.aspx.
Sleeping arrangements:

Fundraisers:
You can fundraise for this trip. Would you like to do a fundraiser as a group? If so, we are open to ideas.
Clothing:
Ladies: in rural Africa, please wear long skirt and roundneck long sleeve/ short sleeve shirts. Things are much more traditional there.
In Nairobi, it's a city. So normal wear but nothing to revealing. Meaning no cracks showing please ;).
What I bring to give?
I have been told each child is given 1 pencil for the entire school year. So we would like to bring at least 2 suitcases full of pencils. They also need 1 subject notebooks, crayons, childrens' books, coloring books.
Latex gloves for women helping in childbirth.
I've gone to church but I have no clue about evangelizing or missionary work:
If you have a heart that loves God and you believe in Jesus as your Lord and Saviour you are welcome to be apart of this missions trip.
The beautiful ladies from Park Ministries - Kenya will walk us through the simplicity of having a conversation of how God has been good to you and sharing this experience. Believe me...this will be LIFE CHANGING! Expect the best and it will be the best. once again this is very simple travel. meaning no a/c, bumpy roads, and a servant attitude. Very important that you keep that in mind. You have never traveled like this and there will never be another opportunity like this one. I encourage you to make the sacrifice to come after you pray about it.
Mandatory Reading: These books will help you to understand the work of a Christian. and is recommended by Sonia.
