I’m so glad that you’ve chosen to follow along with our trip to Kenya. The students have been working hard to prepare for the trip and we are all getting excited as the time of our departure gets closer and closer.
While we’re in Kenya we will be serving at three orphanages. In Limuru (about one hour outside of Nairobi), we’ll be leading a Vacation Bible School for 800 elementary school students, and doing a number of different projects on behalf of a girls orphanage that is currently housing about 60 young girls. In Narok (about 4 hours west of Nairobi), we will be drywalling, digging ditches and building furniture for an orphanage that will one day serve over 100 boys. Then, in Nyeri (about 3 hours north of Nairobi), we will be doing construction, teaching and sports with long time St. Andrew’s missions partner Bernard Muindi, at his orphanage which serves nearly 200 boys and girls.
In addition to all of this, we’ll be speaking in churches, connecting with old friends at Daystar University (just outside of Nairobi) and getting to know about 30 Kenyan youth that will be our ministry partners in Limuru and Narok.
Thanks for your prayers and all of your ongoing support! We can’t wait to have you join us on our journey!
Yours in Christ,
Jim
