Building a foundation
Last week we were able to assist several nationals as they went into the schools to teach as part of the CRE (Christian Religious Education) program. This week we actually started teaching the classes. On Tuesday Jackie and Christina taught the two classes while I took photographs for a project I am doing for the […]
Taking advantage of every opportunity
One of the most unique things about the Bible study we have at the salon in Kibera is that the women continue their work as we teach. This concept is unheard of in America, but here they cannot afford close down their business for an hour. The first week I thought it was going to […]
Devotion for 24 January 2011
Nehemiah 4:16-17 16“So it was, from that time on, that half of my servants worked at construction, while the other half held the spears, the shields, the bows and wore armor; and the leaders were behind all the house of Judah.” 17Those who built on the wall, and those who carried burdens, loaded themselves so […]
Outreach to Somali Refugee Ladies in Nairobi
Last Friday, I had the opportunity to accompany Natasha to visit some Somali ladies who converted from their past Muslim faith to Christianity. It is on Natasha’s heart to reach out and minister to these ladies on a weekly basis. The two-room house is shared by four ladies and their combined six children. […]

She Looks to the Sky, by Sherry Youngward has always been one of my favorite songs. I learned it was written after Sherry read an excerpt from Jonathon Edwards journals. Edwards wrote about Sarah Pierpoint, the woman who soon became his wife and the mother of their ten children. As I read what he had […]
Technology is fun!
Internet here in Nimule always has been a big challenge here for our missionaries on the field since it very difficult to get a signal. Vicky and I walked down to the next compound and we sat outside on a log to check emails. Crazy huh! While Vicky and I were checking their emails, children […]
Bible Study open to women of Kibera, Nairobi
The Lord opened up the door for Jackie, Anna Marie and I to teach a women’s Bible Study in the slums of Kibera. The Bible study takes place at a hair salon, and the owner, Doreen, invited us to come and teach the ladies who work there. We are all three taking turns teaching through […]
Back-to-School VBS
On Sunday afternoon, we had the pleasure of hosting a Back-to-School VBS for the children that live in the slums located directly behind the church. Christina and I have worked at vacation Bible schools before, but none of us had experience when it came to planning. We didn’t have any money in our budget for a […]
