[ God's Hands ]



I was fortunate enough to be able to go to a close friend's church called Victory World Outreach this past Sunday. Pastor Safari (see picture above) runs this amazing church of at least 340 people. The needs are so high and there are many needs. No matter how many needs there are, the church continues to evangelize, church plant, and disciple. What an amazing church!

The church has many church members who live in the slums, low-income housing, to the higher-income Kenyans. I was able to meet up with one woman who I met in the slums, speak with her, and to give her some classroom supplies and decorations for her school in the slum. This amazing woman share's God words and teaches children in the slums, even though she is HIV positive. It was great to talk to her, teacher to teacher, for her to tell me the kind of needs that schools have in the slums.

In addition, I was blessed enough to be God's hands to five families at this church by providing a few bags of food. Some of these women do not have jobs, some of them live in very bad conditions, and some of them are in dangerous situations. I am glad I was able to put a smile on their face and show them the love of Jesus Christ!

I was also able to babysit a beautiful two and half month old baby. Some of the Rosslyn teachers take babies from a place called "The Nest," which is a place where orphans and children of imprisoned mothers can stay while their mother serve their sentence. Luckily, one of those teachers need a babysitter and I was able to spend some time with this beautiful girl.




God is molding future ministry here in Kenya! I can hardly wait to get back to the States to begin changing, and beginning the paperwork and foundations of a beautiful ministry to come!

In less than a week, I will be off to Rwanda to sight-see and see what kind of needs there are in other countries in east Africa for future ministry. I will be going to markets, orphanages, churches, genocide memorials, and learning about Kigali. More to come!
