A Note I Stole from Danielle

Thanks so much for all the support you have given me! I thought  I was appreciative before but now I cannot express how much your support means not only to me but to all the people here I have minister to! Yesterday we went to the hospital and we got to pray not only with sick kids but over new moms and there 1,2,3 day old babies! It was incredible.

Happy Birthday, Hayley!

Our team was fortunate to celebrate Hayley’s 18th birthday while in Kenya.

Visit to a Slum

Hello everyone! Team Kenya is doing well. Here is a little something from my journal… It was written last week but I hope you enjoy… I walked through a Kenyan slum today. When I woke this morning it wasn’t part of my plan.   When the kids found out we were going to Kenya, several of them asked if we could visit “the slums.”  Pastor Joseph thought I should go see it before the children did to determine if they would actually be able to handle it. After arriving, I wondered if I would be able to handle it.   The immediate sights of the...
