Update

Dear Family and Friends,

Just an update on where I am with the mission trip to Kenya.  The dates have been pushed back due to some unexpected circumstances but we are leaving on August 10th returning on August 25th.  I am going on this trip with a husband and wife team from my church who are natives of Kenya and who started the 501C ministry, Mission2Kenya.  We will be ministering to all age groups in several villages around Nairobi and I will be in charge of leading the youth group and single adults.  I plan on using the theme I Am Second to teach them that we are second, God is first!  We are also hosting a free medical and eye clinic which is something they host every year and is a lot of times the only medical treatment these people receive because it is free.

As my time nears for this trip, I am still in financial need to cover the cost of the trip and the supplies we need to carry over to these people.  Items that we will take with us include things like medications, bicycles for the ministers in far out villages, non-perishable items, Bibles, etc.  I am asking my family and friends to please pray and see what God would lay on your heart to sow into His kingdom works.  Any amount small or large would help greatly in spreading the gospel and God’s love to people in need.  I am trusting and believing that God is going to use me in a mighty way to minister to His people through my testimony and His living Word.  I know this is going to be a life changing experience and I can’t wait to share it with you!

 
In His Service,

  1. I am so proud of you sister! I know that God is going to use you in a BIG way in His kingdom. This will be a life changing experience for you and those you minister to. By now you are probably beginning to feel excited, anxious, & a little nervous about the trip. But know that you do not go alone, He will be with you every mile! I will be here cheering you along and waiting to hear all about it. You will be a smiling face & a light of love that these people may not often see. I love you. To God be the glory ;-)
