Our goal for this mission is to function as a cohesive body. We are a team and we plan to do everything as a team. While each mission member brings different gifts and skills to the team, all team members are expected to participate in all scheduled activities.
Each day, the team members will have a brief morning devotional and an evening devotional as well as a time to share and reflect on the day. In addition, it is likely that the Kaaga Methodist Church may invite us to make a presentation at the church services we will attend in Meru.
