As I sit here in Busia Kenya it is hard for me to realize that I am back and doing his work again. Before returning though I had different expectation for what it would look like this time because all I knew was my time before. I am here to tell you now that things are totally different. Ministry is different, living is different, food is different, and my place on this team is different.
I can definetly say that God knows how to fool me. I came back to the same city but a different place. This has been amazing to see how much God has done in this place and how different I am now. There are some days that I look at places and remember what was then and not now . It continues to blow my mind that I was here this same city in this same country.
Although I have some of the same friends, I continue to see how my role has changed. God has blessed our team with the opportunity to teach at the churches' school everyday for an hour. It has been incredible just to see girls on our team step up and teach. These girls do not allow language barriers or culture barriers to hinder what they are teaching to these children. ( this is exactly what I kept pushing to do as I was here last time teaching sunday school with my last team.) Hospital ministry is along the same lines as last time but I get to see it from a different view this time. Overall though ministry has been great.
When I look at this ministry and this trip from the view of a leader it makes my heart joyful . It gives me the opportunity to see how each of them are growing and how i can help push them into the boldness God has for them. It also gives me the opportunity to just pour out all that I have into them. And being a leader allows me to be humble and fully trust in the power of God for strength when I feel like I am running low from pouring out. I have to say this is such a great feeling and I could not have asked for a better experience so far.
I am continuing to be the change that not only God has called me to be, but the change I wish to be.
Love and blessings,
Tiffany
