Jambo!!! I Am Back in the USA!

Jambo, Rafiki!!!  I am so glad to be back home!!  I left for Nairobi, Kenya on Sunday, November 7.  A team of 12 from my church went with two other churches to assist an orphanage with some major needs.  We had an UNBELIEVABLE time!!  I have close to 1,000 pictures and will be forced to narrow that down!  It is going to be a great task for me to do that!!  I think it would be best to break them up into several posts.  I think I will start that post tomorrow.  For now, here's a peek at my experiences:

The roof over the boy's dorm - FIRST PRIORITY!!

 Meeting the Kenya's Kids for the first time.

Momma Paticia, Miriam and Faith greeting us on our first day.

Working on the roof with clouds looming behind.

Happy children!!!

Giving gifts to the kids.  Much needed gifts!!

More details and wonderful pictures to come!!  What a lifechanging experience!!

Africa Countdown

I have 7 days until the beginning of an adventure begins. I am getting very very excited about experiencing Africa. We will be going to Kenya to assist an orphanage in reroofing their building. I am understanding that the roof is so bad that the children are getting wet during the night when they sleep. How sad!! We will also be going to another village and putting up a tabernacle. Oh how I hope we get to do that!! That is the plan in the event we finish with the roof early. On our last two days before leaving for the airport, we will be in the Serengeti for a two day safari. Such an experience!!

If you can tell by the left side of my page, I am almost half way there to my funds!! Soooooo blessed and thrilled by that!! I would like to commission my blog followers to keep me in your prayers. While we are going to do God's work, we still need supporters at home covering us in prayer for safety. Please pass this along to your friends, the more the better!! Thank you all that have donated and thank you all that are willing to pray for me and the group that will be going to minister. I can not wait to share photos from Africa!!!

God bless!

Missions Trip to Africa

Friends of bloggy land, I have been blessed with a great opportunity to take a missions trip to Kenya, Africa in November with my church and two other churches from the surrounding area. I am in need of raising $3,000.00 to go and share the Gospel. Please consider praying about this in your daily prayer time and follow the link listed below if you feel led to give to this mission. Mission trip fundraising and social networking MissionMixUp.com If you can not give at this time, thank you for even considering. I can always use prayer warriors behind me to keep the entire group saturated in prayer! Again, thank you so much for taking the time to even look into this. I will be keeping everyone updated on my progress and of course the trip!! God Bless!
