Out of Africa!

We arrived home yesterday evening from Kenya. An amazing group of students ministered for one week at the baby center. We were able to see a clear move of God through the lives of the little ones who have been rescued. Our newest baby, Moses, has gained over 1 kg in two weeks! Also through the work the church is doing in Salgaa. Because of their continuing love and presence in this community, when our youth team came and ministered, many responded to God's message with hearts broken and a desire to change. We were part of the many celebrations of Margie Helmuth, a missionary from NMC who has served in Kenya for the last 3 years. She is leaving from home next week. We saw that obedience to God's call can make a difference in the lives of people half way around the world! We were also able to see God working in the hearts of many Maasai. It was such a joy to see traditional Maasai living in rural Kenya, respond to God's message of love and forgiveness. A highlight was when the chief spoke and said although he was not a born again Christian, he could see the difference in the communities where many were receiving Christ. He noticed lower crime, stronger families and greater joy. It was a busy and exhausting week, but we were so blessed to be able to witness what God is doing in Kenya!
