We headed out Feb 3rd at about 10am. After stopping at the market and driving though dirt roads and countless pot holes, we finally arrived in the land of the Maasai Tribe. It was hot. It was dry. No running water. No electricity. No showers, and a squatty potty for a toilet. Flies covered everything. Flies covered everyone. I didnt know what to think. I didnt know what to feel. I guess i was in a state of shock. How was i suppose to live here the next 6 days?    Then God opens your eyes and helps  you destroy the the complete selfishness that wants to take over. You begin to...

I’ve safely arrived in Africa!!! I’m so incredibly blessed to be in Kajabe. I’ve met many wonderful people and seen transformations right before my eyes. I look around and see broken people and yet at the same time people with so much joy. The past six days we went and lived with the Maasai tribe. Never in a million years would I have guessed that we would have the opportunity to minister to them, but we did! It was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. I know it is only the beginning of my journey, but I learned so much from these people and got to...

Baby-wipe showers, mud huts, foreign handshakes, community shampoo… Yep. This is Africa.   The Lord took our prayers for an abundance of rain seriously. We’ve been living in the Rift Valley for 5 days now with the Maasai tribe, a beautiful people that hasn’t seen rain since December. Our tents were completely flooded last night, and the whole team was confined into one hut to sleep. Nine of us girls slept head to toe on the floor of a room smaller than my bedroom at home. The rain started again at about 3pm today, and now we are all hanging out under the tin roof with...

I’ve been in Kenya for 8 days now and the team is finally getting the opportunity to post another wave of blogs.  We just finished up a 5 day outreach with the Maasai tribe out in the Great Rift Valley and stopped at an internet cafe in a town called Nakuru on our way home to get some “Browsing-Time” as the Kenyans call it.  The last week has been so incredible for all of us.  We have made so many great connections with the people of Kijabe, the town where we are based, and also the people of the Maasai.  It is amazing to think that we are thousands of...

“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.”  Luke 19:10   A day or two after we arrived in Kijabe, we were told that we would be going on an outreach to the “bush” to the Maasai tribe in the Rift Valley. We were so excited because we imagined going later on this trip. After a two and a half hour bumpy journey, we arrived in two vans with all our supplies to the Maasai village in the middle of the beautiful Rift Valley.   The beauty and welcoming nature of the Maasai tribe amazed me. These people gave unassumingly to complete...

After being in Kenya a little over a week the team has experienced one of the most amazing opportunities. We have blessed enough to live in the Maasai tribe. They are alot like what you read in books; bright colored clothing, lots of jewelry, and very good at jumping. The Maasai tribe are also very committed to their relationship with God. They spend lots of time singing and dancing for the Lord. During our stay in the Rift Valley with the Maasai Tribe, we visited a Primary school. The students were so excited to see us and cheered with all they had when our team walked in to greet them at...
