Eldama Ravine evening worship
What a blessing it was to meet the kids and caretakers at Eldama Ravine Children's Village (August 2008). They blessed us with stories of prayer and fasting, miracles of food, and the faithfulness of the children (read those stories here). During our last evening...
Action behind words
Have you ever met someone who understands where you are coming from, right off the bat, during your first introduction? Someone who holds the same passion as you even if their calling is something different than your own? Someone who lives out Matthew 22:36-40?...
Back in time
This takes us back over a year ago. The students at Nice View Academy/Orphanage sang us a few songs and I wanted to share with you their beautiful faces and enthusiastic voices!
Our friends from Jamii School
While we were in Kenya we met many people who love the Lord and are striving, with the Holy Spirit's strength, to love their neighbor as themselves. One couple is Esther and Basilus who opened Jamii School in January 2009. We are able to keep up to date with them...
