It is not easy to summarize a three week adventure like this one. Ann Husk did a great job (in our last post) emphasizing how every member of the team stepped up to challenges they were faced with and represented Christ well with both word and deed. I am very proud of the team God ordained for this good work.

Our team dug holes, harvested crops, played soccer, taught computer skills, led Vacation Bible School, tutored kids, spoke in local schools, helped with family chores, hosted World Cup parties, put on women seminars, challenged youth to stay sexually pure, furnished the local resource center with books for the community and local pastors, took part in Sunday Worship, and were blessed beyond comprehension. The things we came to "do" no doubt had an impact on those in the village but they were nothing in comparison to the relationships that were built. By living life with those in the village we gained credibility that enabled us to share truth and encouragement to listening ears. Every member of the team can share specific "God sightings" that were taking place each day. It was both humbling and exhilarating to have Him work through us.

We are all grateful for the opportunity we had to truly partner with the work of our E-Free missionaries. We did not go to Kenya and build a grand church building; instead we came along side them to help build God's Church in Kenya. It is reassuring to know that the work God did while we were there began long before we arrived and will continue as He leads Dan and Emily forward.

Thank you for the prayers given on behalf of our team. We ask that you consider continuing to lift up the Okalls and their work in Kenya before our King.
