At The Very Least You’ll Be Changed

  At The Very Least You'll Be Changed Blog #4 by Emily Chambers on Friday, 28 October 2011 at 15:42 Sheila Walsh, Author of "Outrageous Love" said, " The outrageous message was not, " I forgive you, so go and do whatever you want." Neither was it, "Because of how you have lived there is no forgiveness." The glorious message. God's great surprise, was that everything about us is known to Him and can be forgiven through Christ's sacrifice, and through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can live...

Beauty for Ashes

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because the Lord has annointed me to proclaim good news to the poor, He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives…to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead or mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair." Isaiah 61:1,3a Pokot was a breathtakingly beautiful tribe filled with red dirt, thorny trees, mountains, rivers, adorable camels, exotic bugs, and beautiful people.  Our ministry centered on teaching at Amaya Primary School where I taught...

Our team set out for our third and last tribe last week. After a 12 hour travel day, we arrived at the Pokot tribe. Pastor Musa greated us in the wee hours of the night. He informed us that we would be doing some door to door ministry, but mostly we would be working in the schools. This made me really excited! I volunteered to teach the pre-school class, along with my team mate Breanne. We arrived and were instantly surrounded with about 40 kids, ranging from ages 2-6 years old. Most wearing rags as they walked to school bare-footed, many carrying their siblings on their back. The volunteer...

news from the middle of nowhere

Hello family and friends of team Kenya, I wanted to let you know that I heard from the team leaders yesterday and give you a little update here on how the team is doing. The team is officially in the middle of nowhere in Central Kenya.  An 8 hour bus ride from Kijabe turned into an 11 hour journey.  I'm sure there are lots of funny stories to come about that transportation day.  The leaders had to hike 30 minutes up a hill to stand in the middle of a field in order to have barely enough phone signal to talk to me.  We were only able to talk for about 10 minutes and...

Listening

Hello 🙂 We spent our last two weeks in the incredibly green and lush city of Karati with the Kikuyu tribe.  It rained (POURED) each day we were there.  These two weeks were totally different than the ones we spent with the Masaii in Tangitatu, but they were wonderful.  We spent each day going door to door in the village to encourage believers, share the gospel with non believers,and to pray for the sick.  I saw many come to Christ and realize the hope, joy, life, and restoration that come from a relationship with Him. I also had an amazing opportunity to work with a...
