Kenya

A group of people from our church are in Kenya right now serving orphaned children. Each evening we all gather around the computer to catch up on their daily activities. It is so awesome to see God working and being glorified thru the people He sent. Their "main" mission was to deliver back packs to children who were not able to attend school because they did not have supplies. I believe they have over 500 to pass out to children. Today's entry said they passed out the backpacks, fed 600 children, and shared the gospel. 70 people accepted Christ. WOW!!!
My heart is heavily burdened for the people of Africa. Dan and I pray for the Lord to use us to do His will there. We feel there is so much more in addition to adoption that is waiting for us. We need to help esp when we hear the stories that are shared on the blog from Kenya. It is incredible. Lord, please, if it is your will, open doors and lead us in Your direction. Whatever you want us to do to help the orphans in Africa, we will do. Please open the hearts of others to help these precious babies-- your children. There is a need, use Believers to step out of their comfort zone and walk in faith. Help us to seek You daily and GO!
