Kenya Testimony 2025In case you missed Sunday morning, I wanted to take the time to post the team testimonies for you to read. It was such a wonderful trip and the stories are worth hearing. As we went to teach about stewardship, it’s only fair, that we too, are good stewards of the stories God gave us while we were gone. I hope this can help encourage you this week and this year as you see how it...

Our return…Our last day in Kenya and the beginning of our travels home started early. At 5:30 a.m. the alarm went off. The normal last day activities for the trip include the Museum of Natural History in Nairobi, the twiga feeding station, aka giraffes, or the elephant orphanage within the Nairobi Game Park. This year, however we had a change of plans…George has certainly become one of the greates...

Today’s update may be a short one…Overall today was fairly uneventful. We woke up a bit later than normal, took our usual breakfast at the hotel and soon we were off to Nairobi. Nothing much happened as we drove through the countryside of Kenya. It was a blessing that George was able to find a mechanic to fix the van that was having some issues with the turbo, but with a little “DW 40” we were off...

Today started early for us. Even though it was a tourist day, it was not a rest day. 5:00 am alarm  that didn’t wake me up, because I was already awake. Checking on things back home and having our good friend fix my technical issues with the app and these updates…But Adam came through in a big way for us and in no time it was up and running, like a giraffe from a lion, or what ever they say.Soon I...

We may be out of place tonight as we lay down to sleep in warm beds. For one night each trip we find ourselves as tourist in a game camp. This is a place we have been several times in the past but this is the first time our beds had a hot water bottle companion as we returned from supper. Some might even call it a whoopee cushion full of water…I’ll let you guess who that was!We had a great final m...

The wind howls through the hallways of our hotel each night. Almost an eerie sound sometimes when it hits the clay tiles and has a low pitch whistle. To me it is a peaceful and welcomed sound that helps to cover the constant clanging of dishes and silverware that they seem to wash all night long. Sometimes it’s covering up the sound of the plastic chairs being dragged around the rough cement floor...

Howdy from George…George thinks howdy is official Texan language, so he likes to use it for us…of course with his accent its doesn’t sound very authentic.We had a very, good, successful day of ministry. We started the morning late, as usual, but were able to go do a bit of door to door evangelism. While I might not say it was as productive as we might have hoped, it brought about much needed oppor...

Today started off in true Kenya fashion, one hour late and then thirty minutes later…it did however turn around pretty quickly.Door to door evangelism went well for our team. Rachel, Faith, Uriah and I took a few houses. Brian and Chip took the others. I haven’t gotten a full report on the events from Brian and Chip but our team was able to visit and pray for several households. The biggest event ...

Chip speaks to the multitudes….We started off our day at the ————— school. Translation has been lost on VBS for today, but what we really were doing was speaking to a school of over 500 students.Chip was our teacher for VBS (what we thought we were doing)  so he was up as the speaker. So, with little introduction of our team he was up in front of more than 500 kids, teaching the story of David and...

Today was a great day here in Africa!Until your in a Kenyan church I don’t think you can understand the energy with which they sing, dance and worship. But today we were there. Everything is so formal in Kenya, so we were seated in the green room (hot box as some call it). A small sheet iron and brick building used for visitors, meetings, and pastor office space, when Pastor Ezekiel popped his hea...

Good morning Church!Yesterday we travelled from Nairobi to Kilgoris.After a good nights sleep in CHAK we toured the Kiebera Slums (pics included) and then journeyed onward to Kilgoris. It is quite a drive but we had a good experience. We saw some baboons along the road as well as a few other small wild animals. Finally after around eight additional hours of traveling we arrived in Kilgoris to sett...

Thirty-Six hours, that is how much time has passed since we left the church. But we are all healthy and safe in Nairobi tonight.With all the go, go, go...and all the waiting, it feels like a week. But we have gathered all the supplies here in town and are ready to leave early tomorrow morning to begin our eight hour drive across the Great Rift Vally for Kilgoris town. Pray for us now as we all try...

Hello Church Family. As we are making last minuet preparations and checking our bags for weight and content, the excitement is building. Much needed sleep won't come easy tonight as we lay our heads down one last time in our own beds before we embark of the trip of a lifetime.I want to say a special thanks to everyone who has given, prayed, and been a part of this trip being possible. Without the ...
