What will we be doing?

I wanted to take a little time to let you know what exactly we will be doing in the great city of London starting one week from today.
We have one large team of 13 people going. Seven of our team will be teaching ESL classes to women of different people groups (mainly Somali and Afghani women). The other six (which is the team we are on) will be running a Kids Club for the children of these women. As of right now it looks as though we will have close to 36 children (ages 1-12). We have lots of fun things planned and lots of stories to share with them. We are not allowed to speak about Christianity with them because they come from different religious backgrounds (mostly Muslim). We will be running the club for 2 hours a day for a week and I am sure doing other things in between. We will also be visiting a Sikh Temple, a Mosque and a Hindu Temple at the beginning of the week, I assume to give us a feel for what these people believe in. This part is a little scary, but quite necessary in order to better understand the lives we will be encountering while there.
We are getting more excited each day!
Please continue to pray for our health before we leave and while we're there.
