Gettin’ ready!
The kids are preparing for our visitors (in a few short weeks!). I watched as they all said their memory verse and introduced themselves, then listened (while writing this post) to them practice their singing. I know the group will be as proud of them as I am!...
Got it all
I want it all....yup, you read that correctly. A missionary, living in Kenya want's it all. Sure that might be ok if what "all" included was world peace, a stop to hunger, no more child abuse, a government that cares about its citizens instead of simply lining their...
Not today

Close to home
When tragedy hits close to home I grieve, weep, ask questions, and pray for those friends and family left behind. It is also a harsh reminder that tragedy hits close to home for thousands of people everyday. I'm reminded of the tragedy that may have been for our kids...
Naomi
Naomi lives at C4KK and is a very industrious kid! She has started her own shamba (garden/farm) of maize and keeps it watered and has Roman (our farm manager) spray for bugs! She is also our resident "preacher"! You'll find her holding her Bible and, yes, preaching...

Not only did we have electricity but the internet allowed me to upload this video....it took approximately 5 hours but it worked!!! Disclaimer: No Kenyans were hurt in the making of this video! I mention that only because you may notice the lack of hard hats, steel...
