Greetings! Just wanted to give a quick update about the team. We are all doing well, life outside the city is great! Today we went to a few places where the Christians here are planting churches. One spot was just a plot of land that a man donated for a church to be bulit. It was a very rural spot-we are talking way out in the bush. Cows and goats are cuttently grazing on the land, but we prayed over it and then when to visit another church plant. They have a big struggle to reach the surrounding people because they are so rural. But we know God is faithful!
We also wanted to mention our time in Kibera. Kibera is a slum in Nairobi. This is the largest in Africa with one million people living in one square mile. We visited a school there and they were very happy to see us. I was blown away by the attitudes of the people living there. They seem so positive and hopful. The children sang to us and listened as we told Bible stories. We brought juice and biscuits for them and they were so excited!! Visiting those beautiful children was great.
For now, we prepare to visit schools here in Ahero, near Kisumu. Today is a Kenyan holiday so there is no school.
Id like to say a special hi to my family! Hey family! I love you all and miss you.
Thank you all for your prayers!

I found out something interesting today as I looked on the internet to see where Kisumu is. I don't know if y'all know this or not, but Kisumu, Kenya is part of the Sister City program and their Sister City in the U.S. is Roanoke, VA. God Bless You All!!

Bwana Asifiwe (Praise God). I'm glad you all are getting so much done. May God bless you and use you to change lives for all eternity. As the Aussies would say, "good on ya."
