Africa, It’s Been Real

We’re coming home!!!Can’t believe our time in Africa is coming to an end; We all board a plane is less than 12 hours to come home.

I can tell each and every one of you parents, siblings, friends, family… that your student is coming home changed. God worked in big ways amoung this team and they were used to plant many seeds here in Africa. I want to thank you for entrusting Ashley, Jeremy, and I with your students...

Big Things

Today the students got to experience, for most of them the first time ever, hut-to-hut ministry. We went to a town called Bristol and broke off into three teams and all went to different familes and people in the community to pray and encourage them. One group got to pray over a lady with severe malaria and we are all praying and believing she will be healed. It was so great to see the students come alive and have so much to share with the community. They all did so great and we were super proud of them. They took the lead and initiative to step out of their comfort zones and just go for it....

Almost at the Finish Line

Nakuru is going great. We have been having blast with our contact, Pastor Peter. He is such a man of God and makes sure all our needs our met. He goes above and beyond to make us feel at home. Our main ministry so far has been with the school they have at the church. The students have loved playing with the kids that come from all over town. They also really enjoyed the church service on Sunday. Even though it was almost 6 hours of church with a few breaks, they handled it like champs and got a lot out of it. They all have said it has been their favorite part so far. They learned about leadership,...

Lovin’ Kenya!

Lovin’ Kenya! Today we spoke with the leaders of Team Kenya and that’s what they had to say; “we’re loving Kenya!”  The team is full on into ministry! Kenyans are early risers – and so is this team! Their days start at 6am, serving breakfast to the children who are going to primer school a few miles away from where the team lives.  Some of the team works with the lower primary stuents during school hours playing games, teaching, and just loving on precious little ones!  In the later morning, the team does worship with some of the older students...
