Last Tuesday, June 15th, I took my first trip into the slums. This time around we weren’t going to be doing any intentional evangelizing, but just getting a feel for it. Lets take a few steps back. Woke up in the morning, got on the bus, drove on a long, bumpy road, and saw a new part of Nairobi. Almost everyone here walks. There are a lot of cars, but many more pedestrians than vehicles. A lot of guys pull these carts full of miscellaneous items along the road. The best way I can describe them are like miniature trailers, but a man pulling them instead of a vehicle. Piles of burning...

Sa Sa!   Last week we took a break from teaching at the KAG school and went on a prayer walk through a place called Eastleigh. “Little Somalia” is also another name for Eastleigh because it is highly populated with Muslims.  A small group of us went through this area on a prayer walk.  We walked through many mud puddles, trash piles, and exhaust  from the cars going past.  We had many interesting looks from the people of the area and got to evangelize some.  We got to the hub, the heartbeat, of the town and stopped on a corner.  We got in a...

Drew Hulsey Monkeys and Blessings Kenya has been amazing so far. The people are so awesome and so very kind. God has given us way more than we need. We arrived thinking we would be sleeping in tents but ended up in a secure compound (kind of like dorms)with beds, a few miles away from the church. Also the church has hooked with a awesome cook called Patrick, who is so humble and can cook the best meals ever,needless to say we do eat very well. But not only do we have a cook, not only do we have beds, we have monkeys in our backyard. They are fun to watch, I’m such a white...

Here’s a quick update on how the Real Life-Kenya Team is doing.   So we have been in Nairobi, Kenya for about 6 days now. We have a great team who are very eager to be on these streets meeting people, sharing with them, praying for them. They have blown our minds on how quickly they are to minister to each other when they see the need. They have huge hearts to serve. We’ve officially known each other 9 days, but it feels like years.    Today they went to a school in the slums to teach the children, sing with them, help serve their meals, laugh with them, love...

Hey everyone!!!  Time for an update!!  Right now we are taking turns using computers at an internet cafe.  This place is amazing!!!  Before the trip I felt nervous about coming.  I mean I knew that this is where the Lord was calling me, but every moment spent here, ever new voice that graces my ears, reassures me more and more that this is the right place.  Today we went and taught English and a little math to children in all years of primary school (the USA equivelant of everything before high school).  Claire and I ended up working with 9 and 10 year...

Ok, My webmail doesn’t work in Kenya so I dont have a password for my AIM blog…. that means I’ll be posting under other people’s blogs… i hope you all find my disguised writing!   Kenya is amazing, these people are so hospitable and every has such a gentle heart.  My highlight so far has been the worship.  Worship here has been so genuine and truly beautiful.  I am growing so much in my faith and these relationships are forming so fast.  God has really been working though our team.  The other day we went into the community and talked with people on the street...
