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...

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...

Miracle. Straight up 2011 miracle. As we were having family time one night one of the little boys came into the church and was just sitting with us. He didn't say anything he just wanted to sit with us! He was the only one in there and my heart just wanted to feed him, I wanted to fill his belly with more than just corn. ( These kids are SO hungry here,ps.) I was in tears as I was watching him just be in the moment with us, and I cried out to me team that I wanted to feed him…. But you see that is not fair for me to just feed him, for then all 30 kids from the tribe would just...

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...

We spoke with the team leaders today and they wanted us to pass along this update on how the team is doing. They are still in the remote village with the Masaai tribe. They will be returning to civilization (Kijabe) on Friday and should have internet access Saturday and/or Sunday before heading out to another village on Monday. The team has been doing a ton of door-to-door evangelism everyday. This requires at least 10km of walking a day, so they're getting plenty of exercise. There's been a lot of fruit in this ministry. They're in a place...

Poetry

This is a poem I wrote one night when I couldn't sleep. At the request of my teammates, I'm sharing this poem/praise prayer with all of you. It is a reflection of what Jesus means to me and how I'm growing in my love of the Lord. Enjoy! At the cross I find my King, Lord of lords and everything Maker of heaven and earth, You knew my heart before my birth I must say thank you every day, For gifts You give and take away For You are big and I am small, You did it God, You made it all I come to pray at the cross, In times of joy and great loss Only in this special...
