We are almost half way through our trip and I thought I’d let the team express some thoughts.
Amazing and unbelievable. Church in Kwa Njenga. Mona
I’ve heard John say that you haven’t been to church until you’ve been in Kenya; today, I found out just how true his statement really was. Singing, dancing, jumping, the locomotion (so to speak), sweating and even crying... what an amazing way to worship the Lord! I’ve never seen a Pastor take the stage quite like Pastor Sanya. After a 2 1/2 hour service, I had the amazing experience of meeting my sponsor child’s mother, Joyce. She was loving and extremely great full. Today was an emotionally charged day... just like every day before. To Chad and Joey- I love you both very much and I miss you! XOX Jessica
What an incredible journey this is. From the day we formed the team until the present, I knew that we would be a group that would really latch on to the short term mission team concept, embrace its benefits, and absorb its challenges. We have experienced, and overcome, the overwhelming feelings of helplessness that can occur when entering into an area of extreme poverty and sub-standard living conditions. Sights, sounds, and smells that can cause an emotional shut down have been avoided because we have been blessed by the loving hearts and souls of the people of Kwa Jenga. We look forward to arriving each day in the slum to experience what God has in store for us and to serve the people we have grown to know and love. Can’t wait to return....John
God is gooood. We're so very proud of you Jessica. Joey and I are having a blast together. No worries about us, you just stay focused on Gods' plan that your blessed to live out in these awesome and monumental days ahead. Were those braids i saw?
