The simplicity of a ball

Life on the Field

Today was our first day of door to door ministry, or more accurately titled, hut to hut ministry. As I walked the dusty roads of Mpeketoni I wasn’t sure what to expect. The sticky weather was starting to get to me and the smell of burning trash wasn’t helping the matter. On I went though, awaiting what God, who just loves to put me in uncomfortable situations, was planning. Seeing a group of huts ahead, my team and I veered toward them. As I looked up, my eyes met with one of the most intimidating men I have ever seen. It wasn’t his appearance that gave me this...

We have now been in Kenya for about 24 hours. After 2 days of traveling we have finally made it! It is amazing how all the memories from my time in West Africa have come back but Kenya is so different from what I experienced before. Even from the first moment of landing I noticed something different- quiet! Even when running around Nairobi to get bus tickets so we can head out to our first ministry, it is so much quieter. Hardly any horns honking, no people trying to sell you things when sitting in traffic (which is actually something I miss J–...

I never in a million years would have imagined myself as a leader, and yet here I am leading 12 people in Kenya for 4 months J I can still remember when God first called me to lead a Real Life trip and my response- silence and doing a double take. Even though I ever imagined myself as a leader, God did and I am so blessed to be here and be leading these kids. God does know me so much better than I know myself and is showing me more and more of who He created me to be! Even though quiet- filled with so much fierceness, boldness, and strength! I am so happy I...

I cant say i know exactly the reason God placed me here in Kenya but i am more than ready to soak it up! we left for Kenya on Tuesday around 12:00 am and we arrived Friday around 7:00 am. my body is trying to adjust to the time difference while my mind cant even wrap around the fact of where i am. we are staying at a hostile until tomorrow but i am so thankful for this gracious place. its amazing how quickly you can tell that Kenya is a whole different world. hearing voices i don't recognize have never sounder sweeter and smells unfamiliar so appetizing....

I am finally here in Kenya. I am here! It seems so unreal. I have a love for this place that I can't describe. And I feel very blessed that God would choose me to come and serve this beautiful country. During the 24 plus hours of traveling that it took to get to Nairobi I had a LOT of time to think. Most of the time I couldn't fully believe that I was really on my way to a place where I left my heart 10 months ago. The other part of my time was thinking through what it took for me to get here. The road was rough, painful, many tears were shed, and things didn't go as I...
