He is my portion

JAMBO! A quick update: We arrived in Mpeketoni yesterday after a 13 hour bus ride, which was quite an experience. It felt more like a 13 hour rollercoaster ride to me. After all the traveling we only had a few negative side effects, the worst of which was CANKLES. So far I've learned to wash clothes in a bucket and use a squatty potty. We were awoken this morning by a down poor of rain and the pastor and others singing praises to the Lord for the rain! We have church tomorrow from 8am-1pm and I CANNOT WAIT! We will start hospital visits and house to house visits on Tuesday. When I...

Mungu ni mwema

At training camp I proclaimed to God, "Yes God, send me I will go wherever you want me to go." Last time I let go of everything I held onto and let God work in my life I ended up on this trip to Kenya, flying and driving thousands of miles to reach people who needed to hear about Jesus! I don't think I realized the statement I made and the power of the Holy Spirit. Thinking about Gods love, I want to do nothing else but tell people who are hurting, hungry, and in need, to tell them that God loves them, feeds them, and heals them! " If Jesus Christ be God and died for me...

Expectations are Already Blown

In less than 5 days, team Kijabe has already become a family. Honestly, I was a little nervous to meet my team since we had yet to meet until trainning camp.Now Though, I realize how silly it was to worry about something that is so competly in God's hands even if it is just our natural human instinct. Simon and Margret our Kijabe contacts are the best! Here I am thinking that by comming to kenya sleeping on the ground in a tent and going to have to use a squatty potty all the time. That is so not true at all at least for while we reside in Kijabe. They have managed to set up dormatory...

We are…Conquerors!!

Hey everyone! Our trip just arrived in Kenya last night! Before we left America we had a 4 day training camp in Tennessee. Training camp was like a retreat or Christian conference except you know that you will be living with the people there for the next two months! There was a total of 215 of us at camp going leaving to go to countries all over the world. There are 15 people on our trip to Kijabe. Adventures in Missions (AIM) places a huge enphasis on community so by the end of training camp we all felt like family. We opened up to each other on our team about past hurts and that was...

To God be the glory in the safe arrivals of every team. Just yesterday night we arrived in Kijabe Kenya and it seems so sureal. I mean after all the talks and preperation we are now finally starting off in the great adventure God has called us to do. Trining camp was great! Through it all we had the oppurtunity to get closer to God and one another. One thing i learned today after walking the streets of Kijbe was how happy and warm these people are living the most simple ways. Day-to-day living with the worries of only THAT day. Compared to my fast-paced life that has a never ending set of...

God’s Rain

After hearing an inspiring story the first night about the Lord bringing literal rain to a drought-stricken Kenya I was consumed with the image of bringing God's rain to the Kenyans this summer. During the afternoon our team was challenged to paint a canvas with an image that described what we saw or wanted God to do in Kenya. We each chose a phrase to put on it and I chose "bring God's rain". That's what I want to do as we pour out our lives on these people. Just as we finished painting it began to rain outside the cabin. It was such a refreshing...
