Kenya Mission Trip – Weekend Updates

6/4/10

Arrived safely in Nairobi – no travel issues!

6/5/10

We are on our way to strong tower to spend the day with the children it is going to be a great day except for the window that fell off the bus. Nothing that plastic and duct tape can’t fix. Carey

An incredible day. How does He do it repeatedly? Gives us so much of Himself that we could begin to step into the opportunities He allows us to have?

Everyone is allowing God to use them in specific ways. Today we traveled to Naivasha and spent the day hiking to lake Naivasha with the children, helping with chores, singing, bible lessons, went to the local open air market and store, all twenty of us. We had dinner and worship tonight and are now ready for bed. Tomorrow we travel to Beat the Drum where Max will serve.

Breaking news! We are able to get a second cow! One for Strong Tower and Rhema.

God continues to work in a mighty way. Keep up the prayers, prayer team!

It’s 12:30am so I will be brief. What an amazing day. The worship with Strong Tower is all we hoped it would be. Reece Chapman gave a great message and we sang for the church and boy did they sing for us.

After lunch on the bus we went to Beat The Drum a children’s home for kids w/ HIV aids. What a wonderful home and what loving children.

Everybody had a buddy and we did everything from games to soccer, singing & Bible stories, Crafts & sharing and more. It was all topped off with praying over our teammate Max who is staying with the kids another month. He was ready complete with Nascar bed sheets. What a day! More tomorrow.

Blessings from Kenya!

Today we spent the day at Rhema Children’s Home. We had two big projects for the day, but as usual the best part was spending time with the kids. One project was to pick up the cow with money that the students raised, so the children can afford fresh milk. Part of the team had a great time getting the cow from a pasture and walking it 3K back to the home. The other part of the team worked on building a shed for the cow. Everyone worked & played together in and of the rain. Another great day in Kenya!

Blessings from Kenya,

Carey & Festus (our friend @ Rhema)
