First full day
Our day started off at the Pangani church. Ron delivered a wonderful message to the Kenyans. Then we went to the center for lunch consisting of a meat stew, cabbage and rice. We were then briefed on what our week would entail. We have a very busy week! Tomorrow we will be doing a medical clinic in Area 2. Hopefully we will be able to post some pictures of that. It is going to be amazing! After we were briefed, we did a walkthru of Mathare Area 1. We split up into groups and in my (Jenn) group, we went into a home of a woman named Frieda. Frieda is a guardian to 7 children. She also has some of her own and there was a total of 11 children living in her home. Amazing. We were filled with emotion and tonight at our debriefing, we will be sharing those emotions. We also spent about an hour at the Masai Market which can be very overwhelming! Some left the market and went across the street to get a coffee and do shopping in the mall like area! Too overwhelming! Those of us who came last year had a somewhat easier time shopping. Please keep us in your prayers as the next few days are going to be difficult. We miss you all. God bless you!

Love reading the updates. Continuing to keep the team in prayer.
ReplyDeleteChloe has been praying for you all (as have we, of course), but particularly for Miss Melody whom she misses. :)
ReplyDeleteLove hearing the updates! Keep them coming!
Hi Team: I can't but think about you today - it's wet and dreary here BUT the sun will shine over the next few days and we are blessed. I was thinking of the difference light makes to just about everything - especially if you have grown accustomed to living in the dark. Just one small window of light changes everything in a shack or in a life. I'm praying that you will be the people who have the great privilege of introducing many - adults and children to Jesus - the light of the world! What a blessing to be part of that team!

Shine for Jesus ... blessings and prayers.
