Jambo from Kenya! I would call that the equivalent of a Howdy from Texas! As I write this, I am sitting in the cool air of the night simply enjoying about 20 or so beautiful elephants quenching their thirst in the watering hole literally right in front of us. I am enjoying the night and reflecting on the trip this far. We are 8 days in and still have about 5 more to go. I am blessed and so grateful for this opportunity to be serving along side Chris and Lisa Moore. They seriously have a great thing going here and Kenyans just may not know how blessed they are to have them here pouring themselves into the lives of everyone around them. My husband (Josh) and I started preparing for this trip well over a year ago and God has abundantly provided and paved the way for us to come. We are so thankful for those who have supported us prayerfully and financially. As we embarked on this trip we have fully expected to be a blessing to those we have come into contact with. And while I have no doubt we have been that, I am so humbled and in awe of just how the people we have encountered have been blessings to us! The joy of many has been very refreshing. The people of Mombasa are very warm and welcoming. We have been blessed by beautiful singing from the heart, selfless welcomes in to very humble homes, children who seemingly have nothing yet have everything, food prepared with hard working hands and willing hearts, and much more. Our team has gotten to be a part of working in the school with beautiful children-teaching, playing games, and providing dental services, building a chicken coup mud hut, providing a medical clinic in a local village, evangelizing in a needed area, and ministering to a Muslim community with an event at Massai Corner and in an open field showing the Jesus film. By the way, none of what I have mentioned above looks anything like what you may imagine. Things are just different. My mind is blown. After a few days of very hard work we got take a trip over to the Indian Ocean and today we went on a very cool safari. Tomorrow we head out to Mbaweau for several more days of hard work and pouring into the people of that school and area. We are so excited and looking forward to what The Lord has in store! Oh, and something else very special about the last few days.. My husband and I sponsor a little girl named Rahma that attends Massai Corner and Josh and I were extremely blessed and grateful to meet her face to face! On top of that we actually got to spend 4 days with her and meet her family. It was very sweet and very special. If you have not spent time with Chris and Lisa and invested in this ministry, I would urge you to do so. Support them, love them, pray for them. God is doing mighty works through them and its a blessing to be even a small part of it. For the words I have typed here, there are thousands more that cannot be put into words. Come to Africa. Be a part of Real 4 Christ. Serve Jesus with reckless abandon. You'll be forever changed.
