Hey everyone, so wanted to update ya'l on our rough draft plan of events for the trip!! SO EXCITED!!!!!
So below are some of the things on our list of things to do while in Africa in July, exact details aren't pinned down yet but here's kinda the layout so you can get an idea of what we'll be doing and how better to pray for us.
-Visiting Kiberia- the largest slum in nairobi
-Exploring the Giraffe/elephant orphanage
-Spending a few days in Eldoret helping at an orphanage there
-Helping at Amani
-Going to the Handicap center and helping do something (not sure about specifics)
-Volunteering at another ophanage in Nairobi
-Visiting the Massai tribe and doing some kind of ministry there
-Game drive- checking out the safari!
-Some local shopping :)
Basically: Living, breathing, and loving AFRICA!!!!
I cannot express in words how thrilled I am about the upcoming trip, God is going to stretch us all in incredible ways, and I am so excited to see how he works in and through us. In my heart I know the truth- we think we're the ones going to minister, but we will be the ones ministered to. I am excited to get to be a part of this experience with my cousin as this will be her first experience in Africa, but I also know I will be stretched in ways I don't anticipate. It has been 6 years since I left Kenya after my first visit, and I have never forgotten, always wanted to go back, and I am so blessed by the realization that I will have that opportunity in a month and a half, and I don't know what God has in store, but I know it's going to blow my mind and I will be changed in ways I can't imagine, because GOD IS FAITHFUL.
Pray for our group of gals please, pray that, not only will we be used and God work through our hands and hearts, but that we will have servants hearts and will work together as a team. I pray God uses this experience to bring us together and form strong bonds of sisterhood, faith, and love. Pray that God prepares each of our hearts for whatever is in store.
And pray for Alice and the millions like her, as well as all Africans- men, women, children, orphans, widows, etc... wherever there are, whatever they are going through, that God will be their strength and song, their freedom and victory forever.
