  God has placed this vision in the group about doing something greater in the IDP (International Displaced People) Camps; something that will be lasting, something that will bring the Kingdom of God down to that place after we leave in 2 months. When you go to this place there is no hope; these people have no hope of getting out and you can feel the despair when you get there. It is almost as if they are there for the food and that is it. So our group sat down and prayed about the vision that God has for this place. And we knew that it was something greater than going there every...

 We have a power outage here in Kijabe almost every night and headlamps are running low on battery. But there is one power source that is not even close to running empty and is shining bright and hovering over this team. Proclaiming the name of Jesus Christ with authority is so mighty, so powerful. Every Tuesday we visit the Turkana Tribe in the Rift Valley to do hut to hut visits.

     Every Saturday our team goes to the Internationally Displaced People’s camp to hand out bags of ugali to families who were tragically affected by the violent riots and clashes that occurred during the 2007 elections.

I would like to introduce you to a wonderful woman named Regina. I met her last Wednesday at the hospital, and her story literally brought me to tears.

Basically her story goes a little something like this…   Regina has two kids and a husband and home…and she was obviously in the hospital to give birth to her third-born. The story starts out last April when she decided she wanted a third child. Afte...

It was 3 years ago today since God has taken a special person out of my life. He was my coach, my hunting partner, my hero, …… my dad. It’s also been about 1 1/2 years since I had that conversation with my sister. The conversation that changed my life. I got to a point in my life where I was lost and confused but mostly scared. I could almost see my future of just living my life day by day just waiting for that weekend to come. That’s when I thought there has got to be something more. There was! Mandie (my sister) and I got to talking about being “saved”...
