“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” Proverbs 17:22 Louis is a lady who has been  in the woman’s ward at the hospital since October paralyzed from the waste down from an accident. Everyday the doctors have to rotate her  on all sides so that bed sores don’t form. When we 1st met Louis she was this sweet, timid lady who would barely look at us. She loved to sing, but she would never sing for us- we just has to sing for her, and she could barely lift herself up; she had no strength in her arms and no feeling in her...

Once a week the team gets to help out at Regant Academy Primary School for the day. In the mornings we help correct homework and mark papers, and when we come back after lunch we teach them Bible verses and songs. We have a blast singing with them and telling them stories. We are finally starting to get all their names, and each of them have already stolen our hearts. 🙂 Here are a few pictures from mine and Holli’s class last Monday.

  The first day we went to the displacement camps I immediately hit it off with the older half of the girls. They range from 12-16 years old and I am completely in love with all of them already. Even only after spending two days with them I am convinced that out of all the ministries we are in, the ways God is using us as a team here, this is exactly where God is calling me personally to pour myself into. Cecilia, 13 years old, caught my attention right away; she spoke English very well and had such a big smile on her face. The first day out there she wanted to show me her tent which...

            Sorry for the delay, but I promise you all that I am still alive.  The past couple weeks have flown by. The days are moving very fast and it’s hard to believe that we are time here is already half over.  We are leaving for a week stay with the Turkana tribe this morning.  We will be there until Sunday. The following week we have time off and are staying in Nairobi.  After that, we only have 4 weeks left of ministry before a one week final debrief somewhere else in Kenya.  Then,...

  Ephesians 5:1-2 “Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Every Wednesday my team and I visit the Kijabe hospital to minister and encourage patients in various wards. Last Wednesday, I had the privilege to meet a young mother, Miriam, and her son Erick. Erick has been experiencing stomach problems since he was nine months old, and since then, he has been in and out of hospitals visiting with various doctors trying to determine the cause...

Hiking to the waterfalls on our day off outside Kijabe   Little rascals at the local elementary school. I teach the 4th graders pretty much anything(usually Bibles stories) every other monday. Typical home in the valley with the Maasai Tribe. There can be anywhere from 2 to 10 people living here.   This is a school we visited while staying with the Maasai. There were 300+ kids crammed into this one room. After singing and speaking to them, we played volleyball, soccer, handball, basketball, and many other sports.   Some of the same Kids from the school...
