Jina Langu Ni Nashipae [My name is Joyful]

Jombo from the Tangitatu tribe outside of Naivasha, Kenya! Summing up these past 2 weeks is nearly impossible, so I will give you a small glimpse into our time here and what the Lord has been doing in and through me.  We saw so much fruit in Tangitatu.  Each day, we did door to door ministry and met with people in their homes.  They would greet us with love, excitement, chai tea, and maize.  I personally saw over 8 people come to Christ and realize the hope and joy that comes with a relationship with him.  I have seen questioning hearts be filled with hope and...

Kenya Dig It?

So this is going to be an absurdly short blog post, but short is sweet.  Anyhow…this has been the most intense two weeks of my life, and not just because we're in tents… All expectations have been shattered and Ive been stuck scrambling to pick up the pieces.  To be honest, there has been a lot going on in the past fortnight that has genuinely defeated me.  But there was a silver lining somewhere amongst the grey clouds of my mind – I was able to teach on Wednesday! For those who may be unaware, I graduated this past May with a Bachelor's degree in...

Miracles and the Spirit of God

Who doesn't want to see a miracle? What is a miracle to you? Giving sight to the blind.. hearing to the deaf. Of course those are the miracles I "expected" to see and wittness. But no… I have not experienced those. What I have experienced though is God transforming lives. I'v experienced walking into a mud hut and feeling the presence of the Lord. I have experienced seeing children who have NOTHING… have EVERYTHING. I have looked into eyes of unexplainable joy that obviously comes from the Lord. Four other teammates and myself walked into the yard of...

NO Accident

Psalm 139:13-16 " For you created my inmost being; you knit me in my mothers womb. I praise you because i am fearfully and wonderfully made, your works are wonderful, i know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when i was made in hte secret place. when i was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." Just like these verses say that God knew everyday before i was even born. He knew that my team was going to be in the tribe of Tangi Tatu sharing with the...

Not Your Typical Love Story

        She was eight years old when she was chosen to be the bride of a man 26 years older than her. On Sunday, it was her wedding day.             All week I had been hearing rumors about an upcoming wedding. This was exciting news, especially to the girls, since weddings are a hot topic in our group. It was exciting until we met the groom a few days before the wedding. When we first approached the man and a few of his friends to share the gospel, he said he was sinless! This really surprised me...

Smiles

These past three weeks have been some of the hardest days of my life. I hae experienced life on a whole new level. I have discovered how much growing I still have to do within myself and in God. But he is forever patient, kind and is willing to wait for me to fully trust in him. My journey began by landing in the Narobi airport. We were greated by pastor Simon after 20 hours of travel. We all crammed in a van and drove another hour to Kijabi on a bumpy road through the night. I was so nervous and scared as to where we would end up. We arrived at a big brick building with three tents set up...
