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...

Hiiiii! To my friends and family that is reading this: I’m alive 🙂 I’m doing great and loving Africa still! The Lord has taught me alot and I’m excited to get back to America and to put all of this in to action. Only a few more weeks…crazy! It’s been a while since I’ve blogged but I wanted to share with yall about something that happened two weeks ago.   One of the ministry things we have been doing is building a church in KIserian. The pastor of this previous church had been hurt in an accident and the church had been closed. When we first got ther...

Hello family & friends of Team Kenya!  I just spoke with Nate and Traday, the Kenya leaders, and the team is doing great!  It’s encouraging to hear what God’s doing in their midst.  They wanted me to post a blog for them, as their internet has been sketchy at best these past few days.  As you know, they have been running on an internet schedule whereby each student has a certain day to blog.  However, due to the internet problems they’re facing, this hasn’t been as easy as they had expected.  They are currently re-evaluating their...

  Written on 6-30-10. 56 kids. Yes! At the 1st ICC-Kiserian church service last Sunday (6-27-10) Taylor, Amy Jo, and I taught children’s church where God completely surprised us with the turnout. We acted out David & Goliath, talked about Jesus as the shepherd, and sung lots of fun songs both in Swahili and English. All last week prior to the 1st service we worked moving huge rocks and inviting people to the church. So it was nice to see the fruit from our labor. That’s a little recap on Kiserian, but what’s really been on my heart lately is the beauty of...

   African Culture is drastically different from America in a lot of ways: 1. Driving on the left side of the road, 2. Words like silly and sassy are not used because of alternative meanings and 3. When asking people if they know the Lord you don’t sugar coat it with 15 minutes of small talk or use tools of symbolism. You literally walk up to people introduce yourself and pose the question “are you born again?” This process is what our team and hosts call street evangelism. The entire process was A LOT to take in at once. It was socially awkward and against...

  Kenya is so amazing and I can’t believe the trip is half over, crazy. This trip is such a blessing, I cannot express in words how much it is affecting me and forming me into a more faithful daughter of Christ. Let me just say, the food is something I was a little hesitant about prior to coming. I’m not extremely picky and I knew I would eat a bizarre meal if I was hungry enough, but I never expected what was in-store for us. We arrived at the hostel and found out we would have someone cooking for our team. His name is Patrick and he is so great! His life story is pretty...
