Mixed emotional day
On Saturday we visited Mercy again. Anastasia needed some personal items that we had bought in Nairobi. Remember she hasn’t been paid for any work she’s done here, she doesn’t have a vehicle to take her to the shops and no one here to help her watch the children if...
The weekend!
The kids are always excited about Friday because they know tomorrow we show up for play time on the field and movie night. You know how great it feels to bring these children some laughter!? They also have their dance club on Friday after school and this time Chuck...
Medical attention has arrived at Mercy Child Foundation
We took food to Mercy Child Foundation and the daktari came with us to check on the medical condition of the children. Of course the boys loved the truck the food came in and wanted a ride to the end of the driveway! Now they have food to last them a month – praise...
Praise and worship all day!
Sunday we got up and had services again in our home. It’s so nice to actually understand the message and get something out of it! Then we walked over to the Academy and played on the field all afternoon until dinner time. Again the kids had a great time and they love...
A fulfilling Saturday!
Saturday was a busy day, but a good day. We got over to the Academy around 10 and the kids were still having classes (they have extra tutoring on Saturday’s from around 8-1). So that’s when I updated the blog – love this internet modem! After lunch we had a home visit...
Thanking God for His provision
Today (Friday) we visited Mercy to take the items we bought in Nairobi. They were in need of cups, lunch dishes (mama has to cook enough food for the kids to take to school every day in Tupperware-like dishes), toilet paper, soap for washing themselves and soap for...
Overcoming evil with God’s love!
On Tuesday we were in Nairobi for some shopping for Mercy Child Foundation (pictures and details on the next blog entry). We had some interesting conversations while in Nairobi. We saw a preview ad of a movie where one of the actors had on a KKK outfit. We asked...
What’s happenin’ at Nice View!
On Monday we stayed around Nice View. As you can see the new classroom is just about completed! The windows and glass were put it and they look fantastic and the kids are getting real excited to finally be in it for testing. Just imagine, they are excited to test...
Creating church service at home!
Today I prepared a worship playlist on my iTunes for us before “church”. We listened to worship and praise for about 20 minutes then listened to Pastor Ray on the computer. It was so great to understand the message at last! Thank you Ryan for putting all that work...
Prayer requests and needs!
We now have a near completed classroom in the new building. Here’s before and after shots. We are waiting on the glass for the windows and paint, but we are looking forward to having the class 8 students taking their exams in this room. Usually the class 8 students...
