We're just about a month away from the trip!

We've started several things online including a blog Madison and I will be doing together about the trip. Twitter has been set up for my personal updates and to use on the trip. A Facebook Cause page is up as well.

Five things you can do:

• PRAY for the people in Nairobi Kenya, for our mission team, and for this final stage of our fundraising.
• READ our blog here at http://scottandmadison.wordpress.com
• FOLLOW Scott on Twitter: @scottshuford or http://twitter.com/scottshuford
• DONATE using team code "KE09D" at http://tinyurl.com/e3shuford (Be sure to enter the code!)
• PROMOTE our Facebook Cause, the blog, and/or Twitter to your friends.

This is all part of our prep to document the trip, both for you and for us. We've also had great further discussion with Ryan Dobson’s team at KOR Ministries for their Breakaway magazine for tween boys. Our blog will fit into what they are looking for from Madison. We're also planning for Madison to do short video clips as a video blog every day on the trip.

PRAYER: The general summary is above, but here are some more details. Next on our prayer list are our training sessions with the team, and our last round of immunizations. The April busyness of business was great. All four trips in the 10 day period were very good. Scott didn't end up sick, in fact he was really energized and encouraged. His article for the ECPA came out just after the last conference, and was well rec'd. Please continue to pray for the spiritual battles we face as we prep to actually get ready and go, safety for our family and our businesses right now and while we are gone.  Join as we pray for the unreached Kenyans we’ll meet.   

FUNDRAISING: It has been so very humbling to watch as you've supported us in this fundraising process. We have only about $3500 left to raise! What was so overwhelming at the beginning of this process is now clearly within reach. The $10,425 total cost we are raising for the three of us includes funds to resource the new churches, Bibles, and discipleship materials.  Contributions of any amount are beneficial.  When you partner with us, e3 Partners will send you a tax receipt. You can donate online at http://tinyurl.com/e3shuford. OUR TEAM ID IS “KE09D.”

The boy is getting tall! :)

Thank you very much,

Scott, Kyle & Madison
The Shuford Family
