A time to Rest

As Leah and Phil have been in Kenya for nearly 6 months, the CWFAN board decided that we needed a little retreat.  So, Phil asked around for a good place to rest for a few days.  Someone suggested Panaroma Plaza - a resort that is practically on the side of a cliff and overlooks Lake Naivasha.

With the help of gifts from our board members and family, Leah and Phil we to Panaroma for two days as a person retreat.  Our time there was wonderful!  We had two day just to relax, read the Word, pray, and just feel free without pressing needs or any interuptions.

Here are few pictures from the place:















We ate some of the best food we have ever had in all of Kenya!  It was amazing!  Everyday we had a huge buffet style breakfast. The first day we had a buffet lunch - but the second day we had our choice of anything from the menu.  One meal consisted of a salad, soup, the main course (usually with two sides), and desert!  Then dinner again was buffet style.  All the food was prepared by highly qualified cooks.

But far more important the eating fancy food, far more important than resting in a fancy room - we had the chance to really study God's Word and to pray. It was great to have two days without any pressing needs... We simply read the Bible and connected with our Lord!  This was very refreshing to our souls!  It was like taking a deep breath after being under water for too long.

We praise God and thank Him for letting us be refreshed in Him!
