Learning and Seeing More and More Everyday

2 weeks with the Massiah 2 weeks with the Kikuyu 2 weeks with the Pokot As we just passed midpoint in our trip we have lived with three different Kenyan tribes totalling a time of six weeks. Our ministry has consisted of door to door evangalism, school visits, and teaching. My team and I have seen many people accept Christ and have also been mocked by nonbelievers. God has been doing amazing work in and through us. We have met people who have never heard of Jesus before… its funny beacuse when you tell them its like something clicks, like it all finally makes sense. So the two weeks...

Beauty for Ashes

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because the Lord has annointed me to proclaim good news to the poor, He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives…to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead or mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair." Isaiah 61:1,3a Pokot was a breathtakingly beautiful tribe filled with red dirt, thorny trees, mountains, rivers, adorable camels, exotic bugs, and beautiful people.  Our ministry centered on teaching at Amaya Primary School where I taught...

My babies

  At this tribe God blessed my life more than I could have every imagined… He allowed to me love on some babies and teach at a preschool. But you see this preschool was not a preschool that you would want to drop your child off at for the day…. You see these kids walked miles and miles just to get to school and on empty tummies…. They would show up and get to write on concrete walls and they had to share the same 3 pencils that were shorter than a crayon… They had no colors, no posters, no paper, just the volunteer teacher… My babies, all 40 of...

Life in the Bush

These past 2 weeks have been spent with our last tribe in Pokot. Pokot is really close to the equator and is definitly more of what I pictured Africa as. Just think Lion King and you got Pokot. Minus all the lions and hyenas. There are camels everywhere,thorns,mountains,rocks, and dirt. The stars at night are beyond amazing and worship underneath them is even more incredible! It was about a 12 hour drive to get there in a matatu on a bumpy, rocky road. We finally made it with some sore backs and bottoms! We have had many firsts while we were there. My first time milking a camel and goat....

This is life in the bush

The final tribe of our trip was Pokot. It was a 12 hour drive to pretty much the middle of nowhere. It was a warm welcome from the Pastor Moses and some of the church members as soon as we got there. We learned that we would be teaching in the schools for the two weeks we would be there, as well as doing some door to door, and helping with the church programs. We started teaching the second day we were there, and I got to teach 6th and 7th grade math with Allegra. While we were there, I was very challenged to find ministry opportunities no matter what we were doing, and to be obedient to...

Listening

Hello 🙂 We spent our last two weeks in the incredibly green and lush city of Karati with the Kikuyu tribe.  It rained (POURED) each day we were there.  These two weeks were totally different than the ones we spent with the Masaii in Tangitatu, but they were wonderful.  We spent each day going door to door in the village to encourage believers, share the gospel with non believers,and to pray for the sick.  I saw many come to Christ and realize the hope, joy, life, and restoration that come from a relationship with Him. I also had an amazing opportunity to work with a...
