Why we are going...



Thank you for joining us on this journey as we prepare our trip to visit MCF.  

We have had had two meetings to learn and prepare for our trip. For our opening devotional, Jane, our team leader, shared a very powerful devotional from the book Helping without Hurting by Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert. 




                                                       
We also  spent our first gathering watching the movie about Charles Mully and how God has used his life to bless, rescue and redeem homeless children from the streets of Nairobi. 
 
                           
At our second meeting,  we spent time as a team sharing with each other why we are individually going on this trip. 


Our group purpose statement for the trip: 

For our 2024 MCF Discovery Team, our goal is to see, listen, learn, and share stories of God's amazing redemptive work through Mully Children’s family. We journey together as individuals, couples and families, to fellowship, encourage and uplift the MCF community. We strive to be present, engaging in discipleship, global missions, and evaluating future plans to continue to best serve the MCF community


Please pray:
- for team unity 
- for our team not to be like elephants dancing with a mouse
- for preparations - we are leaving in exactly 2 months!
- for the floods in Kenya. The death toll in the country has surpassed 275! 
- for MCF - all the children's houses, the school buildings, and other facilities have survived the havoc, please continue to pray for God's protection 
- for the protection of the children and staff, as well as comfort and healing for those who are grieving

Slums, travelling, trains and team building

We started with breakfast in the hotel and devotions as a group on the hotel patio. We are blessed that the Lin family brought their Ukulele and even prepared song sheets!  Our prayer as a group is for God to open our eyes and hearts so that we can see Him and His work specifically in Kenya.  We desire that His Name is lifted high and glorified in all we do.  Open the eyes of my heart, Lord Open the eyes of my heart I want to see You I want to see You To see You high and lifted up Shinin' in the light of Your glory Pour out Your power and love As we sing holy, holy, holy Please join us in praying Ephesian 1:17-20 that as a group, God will give us the Spirit of wisdom and revelation. We also had time as a group to practice our Canada presentations and the younger members demonstrated how to construct our cool snowflake arts and craft.  Even though our plans were changed and we could not enter Kibera slums our MCF hosts explained the history of the slums and also took ...

Praying, Preparing and Packing

Our team gathered to meet in June and to reflect on our group passage Isaiah 6:8, prepare our expectations well as learn about Kenyan culture.  We chose the passage from Isaiah 6:8, as it represents our response to God's invitation to join and see His work in Kenya through Mully's Children's Family. We are reminded as we read the whole Chapter 6 that Isaiah encountered our holy, Lord Almighty and instantly confesses his unworthiness, particularly his lips. Yet by God's grace, the Lord sends a seraphim to cleanse Isaiah and takes away all his guilt.  Then God asks, "Whom shall I send? And who will go with us?" Isaiah responds, "Here I am. Send me" and becomes one of God's prophets, using his mouth to proclaim God's good news.  Please pray for our group to have our thoughts, intentions, desires cleansed and purified so that we can be used by God.  Please pray for our group to be flexible, humble, adaptable and teachable.  Today we gathered to p...
