On the Road

I leave for Kenya Monday morning at 9:30 am. The team covets your prayers for safe travels and for God to bless every aspect of our trip. 

Map of Kenya

I am traveling with four others for a 11 day trip to our partner country, Kenya.  Although we will not be working directly with our partner school on this trip, we will be working with some missionaries there that we have connected with on our previous trip.

Our Itinerary:

  • Depart Monday, June 1st
  • Arrive in Nairobi on Tuesday night and travel to the town of Naivasha
  • Work at the House of Hope orphanage in Naivasha from Wednesday – Sunday.
  • Monday, June 8th, we travel to Masai Mara National Park and stay the night there.  (As I type this, I am watching a special on the Discovery Channel about the animals in this region. It is a fascinating and inspiring place.)
  • Wednesday, June 10th, we travel to Nairobi for the day and flight out that night at 10 pm.
  • Thursday, June 11th – arrive to St. Louis at 4 pm.

We are so grateful for your prayers!  I will continue to post brief updates from the trip so please check daily throughout the trip.

Bring a Smile to a Child

November 3, 2008 in Travel with 0 Comments

A couple of weeks ago I returned from Kenya and an amazing trip with Africa Exchange. We went to visit our partner school in Ngerenya, Kilifi, Kenya.  We had an amazing visit with the community leaders, dsc_1954-1parents, and children.  What a blessing to see in person what God is doing through this wonderful community dedicated to kingdom work in their community.  I’ll write more soon.  Please check out my pictures from the trip.

One of the tasks of our trip was to build a swingset for the children.  It was an amazing joy to help those children take their first swings – teaching them to hold on and to pump their legs to go higher.  There were smiles all around.

There are seven other centers and some of them still need their own swingsets.  Will you help out?  We only need $1,325 $1,300 to erect another swingset.  If several of us give a little bit, we can meet that goal.
