This was DEAFinitely a good week.

So before I came on this trip, I've been feeling like God is calling me to Deaf Missions but I did NOT want that to be my focus while I was here in Kenya. The Lord knows that it is a huge desire in my heart and I figured that I would not place any expectations on my trip or ministry here so that God could use me to His fullest. If He wanted to do something here, He would. About 2 weeks ago, I was walking home from the church with Kelsey and Morgan and all of the sudden, one of them said "Kim, these girls are signing!!" So I instantly got excited. Before this trip, I had...

“And above all things, have fervent love for one another…”

Hi friends! I am still behind on my blogging so this blog will be for the week of the 17-21st of July. Everyday we have a morning ministry and an evening ministry. During this week, our evening ministry was the crusade. Around 4 o'clock everyday we would go to the next town over and we would hold a revival on a little stage in the middle of a field. We sing some African songs and worship for awhile then we would all sit down and listen to a preacher preach a message in swahili without an interpretter. After the message there is an altar call and people go up for prayer. So many people...

Promise

I never thought that I would return to the same little girl that I left a year and half ago. Her name is Promise, God told me a year ago that she is a promise to keep. And honestly I didnt know what to do or what that meant. And to tell the truth I still dont have a clue what it means. I know that my flesh wants to adopt her, take her home and just show her the love of God and embrace her. Let her live to know something more. She is precious, And not to mention she remembered me. She remembered my name and who I was. She sat with me, danced with me , took pictures with me and even...

Silence

There are some days that I wish I was here and some days I wish I was there. But the most important of them all is that I know that I am in Gods presences. That I know that I am right where he wants me. I stand in the Gap of the unkown and wait for the next step. I trust that I hear him, I trust that I feel him and most importantly i know he is all around. I say all this to tell you that each day that goes by I am in a different place with God. I am different from yesterday and I lean on him as I step and stand.  I stand in the midst of children with no food. I stand in the...

Brokenness above all else.

With in the last few weeks I have begin to realize that there are somethings that God told me last time I was here in Kenya, that are reoccuring and showing up again at its fullest. I remember asking God to break my heart for what breaks his and I asked him also to continue revealing who I was in him. Both of these concepts in my life are showing up again and again. I have learned to continue the brokeness that God has placed me in. He told me last time I was here that I must first love myself, then him and then I could love a man. I am fully convinced that as God continues to...

My life in Kenya

This week we have gotten to make the most out of having a large team. We had an ATL (Ask the Lord) week where we each prayed to God everyday about what he wanted for us that day. Then according to what each of us saw we divided into teams and went out! The first day I went with two other girls and we talked to a group of Muslims about the Bible and the Quran. We talked about our differences for over an hour! It went pretty well and we’re hoping to develop more of a relationship with them in the future to show them the love of Jesus. I realized I’ve never actually talked to...
