Josh finished his week and weekend with some unproductive house searching in Gulu, walking around Gulu, and then a trip back to the capital, Kampala, where he met up with missionaries in Kampala and some doctors there. Today, he flew to Kenya and within a few hours of arriving in Kenya he made it through customs, passport control, took a taxi to a shopping center, and met up with missionary friends who drove him to Kijabe where he ate pizza for dinner and got on email! Different world, all together!
He will spend the next few days in familiar territory in Kijabe, Kenya meeting with old and new friends exploring medical options for Gracie but primarily learning more about curriculum development and teaching remote pastors from more experienced men at Moffat Bible College. Late Friday night he'll get back to Nairobi and start his journey home for a Saturday afternoon arrival into Boston.
We'll be glad to have him home, but mostly anxious to hear about his adventures, discoveries, and plans in person!

My name is Matt St. Pierre. I serve with the Christian Alliance for Orphans, which is a coalition of more than fifty respected Christian ministries committed to adoption, foster care and global orphan care. We’ve really appreciated some of your blog posts on this front, and wanted to ask if you’d be willing to be a part of an effort we’re now organizing.
A core goal of the Alliance is uniting believers to work together on these issues and to speak with a united voice on behalf of orphans. As we’ve seen through recent initiatives like Orphan Sunday, our voice and impact is far more powerful when we’re interconnected and working in unison.
So, we wanted to ask if you’d be willing to be part of our “Bloggers for Orphans” team. All that would involve is us sharing with you an occasional (rarely more than once a month) issue or opportunity that you could choose to highlight on your blog. These would likely range from ways individuals can become more involved in orphan issues (such as Orphan Sunday or the annual Alliance Summit) to newly-released data on orphans. There’d be no obligation—just an occasional email, and our appreciation. You could certainly feel free to cut-and-paste things we share…or give it your own language and analysis…or not use it all.
Please let me know if you’d be willing to be a part of this at matt@christianalliancefororphans.org!
With Appreciation,
Matt
