Prayers

Please pray specifically for safety for David and Vicky as they are leaving Kenya today. Their flights have changed due to the recent resuming of protests in Nairobi. 

They are leaving Ndalani at 4:30am today for their 6pm flight in anticipation of the protests. 

Also pray for this beautiful country and its people. We have heard several stories of children being displaced due to political unrest; at the same time we heard of God’s hand of protection around MCF during the chaotic 2007-2008 political unrest. 

Post about our July 22 excursion to Yatta will be coming soon… stay tune.

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.

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.    Link to the movie on youtube                             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...

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...
