BACK TO KENYA




Hello All.

There is a team of 7 heading to Kenya from May 30-June 11. We will be working with our friends at Transformed International (www.transformedinternational.org).
Here are some of the things we will be doing:
  • spending time with the NEEMA and SHIMO Girls (see faithecenroad.blogspot.com or www.transformedinternational.org for more information on these projects)
  • building 2 mud hut structures at the "Veronica Home" (a new home for children that are HIV positive)
  • "mudding" one of the huts
  • visiting the In-Step Children's Home for abandoned babies (www.rehemaministries.com)
  • visiting Desert Streams School in the Kibera Slums, Nairobi
  • delivering mattresses and clothing to some of the families in the TI home-sponorship program
  • living life and encouraging our friends at TI
  • having fun making memories together as a team
Please be praying for the team as we travel. Here are some ways to pray:
  • safety as we travel by plane, van, and foot
  • health for the 2 weeks we are gone
  • that we would get through London with no problems (British Airways in on strike and there are have been recurring issues with the volcanos blowing ash and shutting down the London airport)
  • that we would be a blessing to the TI team and the many people we will spend time with
  • for an ease in relationships with the neema girls, shimo girls, and the children and staff at the Veronica Home
Thanks for your support and care for us. We are excited to be serving in this way and welcome you to join us on the journey! We will try to write as we have access to the internet!

Faith
(for the team)

  1. Father, what an adventure you are taking them on!! What an opportunity to follow in Your footsteps. Keep them close to You, Lord, for as they go, they, too, will learn obedience and truth in the suffering and sacrifice of serving...just like Christ....and they will be changed forever. I know that as they go, You will equip them to serve in love and in power. Let love shine forth in all they do and to all they touch. Let your love pour forth from them in power as You reach out and touch hearts. Lord, through their mouths, give them boldness to preach the Good News of the Kingdom, to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to the captives, give sight to the bound and proclaim the year of the Lord's favor...in Jesus' name! Amen!
