Kenya 2012 was a wonderful experience. We saw God work when everything else wasn't going the way it was planned. Eight months of planning and preparing and plans changed almost daily.
Monday, we suprised Mbewau with a final visit! I asked Joseph the headmaster, to let us spend our last spare hours playing with the kids. All 190 children were released from their classes and the games were on. There where soccer games being played, kids being pushed in swings and lots of children being loved on.
Little Emanuel walked up to Kim and raised his hands for her to pick him up, he layed his head on her shoulder and sang himself to sleep. Courtney and Karen had multiple children hanging off them, Medina chatted with a group of kids for a long time and all of the guys played soccer with about 50 little boys. I found Imna, Kelvin and Morgan and carried them around on my back and shoulders for most of the morning. It was so great to just hang out with the kids.
My favorite memory of this trip to Kenya is seeing my Kenyan friends that are faithfully serving Christ every day in a very natural and organic way, no big screens, no stage lights, no sound systems, no padded pews and no air conditioning. Everyone should experience a worship service in Kenya!
Thank you Chris and Lisa for following God's call on your life. Because of that faithfullness many Kenyans lives have been forever changed. I am so very thankful that God has allowed me to see His hand at work in Kenya! After a month or so we will start making plans for Kenya 2013.
God Bless!!!
