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...

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...

Kenya, We Are HERE!

My team and I are finally in the place that we have been looking forwards to for months! Training camp created an experience that both strengthened our team, and strengenthed each of our dependence on our Lord. Personally, I have already come so far from where I began, and I am so excited to see where the Lord plans to take us on our journey. It is so beautiful here, so bright, and so full of culture. I can already see the beauty that the Lord delites in through His creation. The family that is hosting us, Pastor Simon and his wife Margaret, are so sweet and have already exceeded our...

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...

God tells me I'm beautiful. He tells me I am stronger than I think I am. He tells me my expectations will surpassed. He says he has me in his hand. At training camp, we got split into two groups. One group had to raise their hand and keep their eyes closed while the other group walked up to us and put their hands on us. We kept our eyes closed and had to tell that person what God was telling us about them. We switched and there was much truth spoken to me even though the person speaking had no idea who I was. I think we should affirm eachother more often. Encouragement is so profound...

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...
