  God has been really showing me so much scripture so I want to share with you the references: 1 Thess. 5:12-28 Psalm 139, 138:8, 91 John 3:16, 13:38 1 King 12 Isaiah 6 Luke 17:10, 17:19, 6 Ex. 34:29-25, 34:6-7, 34:13 2Tim.4:1-8 1Cor.3:5-9 Eph.3:12-19 Micah 7 Isaiah 58 James 5:17 (favorite) Col. 3:12 My life in Kenya..WOW! Friday, I had a headache (this sounds funky but I got a headache from how I did my hair that day) while I was on the bus. We where on the bus, traveling to Kibera to play with some kids. (NOTE: Kibera is the largest slumb in Kenya, the second largest in Africa.)...

FINALLY KIBERA! Yesterday we went to the worlds second largest slum,which is Kibera. We pass by it everyday on the way to town and I always yearn to go there. We got hooked up with a church that does sports programs like soccer and basketball with the kids. The team and I have been to a couple of different slums and all of them have been different in attitude and style. Kibera is by far the happiest. The feel is different and people seemed generally happy. I think the people are happy because of community. If they move away they would lost it. One thing I have learned in that America has...

What beautiful faces!! Hello everyone:)   Not sure what to write about this time so I’ll just recap some stuff we’ve done. We’ve been doing a food fast the past couple of weeks it’s been really good. Just been eating a slice of bread for breakfast and lunch. Also we were doing a communication fast, still doing that one. I’ve learned the most threw that. Really realizing that God’s the one that really holds the solution to what’s going on in our lives and trusting in his will.   The word surrender has come up alot lately. Really...

Imagine: smelling burning trash, food cooking from little shacks, and trash dumps.  Imagine: feeling the rough, dirty hands of children all over your skin because they have never seen a white person before.  Imagine: seeing shack after shack piled up next to one another with tin walls and locking eyes with children with no expression on their face. Imagine: hearing babies crying and Kiswahili all around you.  Imagine: being in the largest slum in the World…with one million people crammed into once place and only seeing a fourth of it and STILL being overwhelmed. ...

On Wednesday (7-7-10), we visited the Fuata Nyayo slum where one of our Kenyan friends grew up.  It took us 10 min. to walk through the slum to get to the secondary school that we were speaking and singing to.  Those 10 min. felt like a lifetime.  The smells, the sounds, and the sights are difficult to describe, but I will attempt.  Trash littered the mushy, brown dirt underneath me. Sewage 10 times anything I’ve ever smelled filled my nostrils.  Women and men yelled, “Sister, sister, come buy.”  A chorus of barefoot children sang, “How...
