Exceeding the Limit
Dave Schmidgall
Nov 09, 2008 · 1:15 PMHow cool is this, upon checking in at Dulles, several of the suitcases were over the 50 pound limit, but, upon seeing the contents of the luggage (supplies for an orphanage), the check-in attendant decided to “overlook” the extra weight!
On landing in the airport in Nairobi, Kenya, the team met up with NCC members Tyler and Lydia Lund. Another answer to prayer, the two provided transportation to and from the airport, as had a short overnight stay before our flight to Lilongwe. Tyler is working for Global Partners, an organization that teaches business principles to people in Nairobi and the surrounding areas. Lydia works for First Love, whose mission is to minister to women in the slums in Nairobi. The organization, in addition to loving the women through their presence, provides them with opportunities to sell hand-crafted goods (cards, clothing, artwork) in local markets. Through this, they have income to purchase food and basic necessities for their families.
After a short night of fellowship with the Lunds in Nairobi, the team was back off to the airport and on there way to Malawi.
