We are going to Africa! God has seen fit to give Keven and I an amazing opportunity to serve the people of Kenya for two weeks in July! Some of you are coming to this blog because of a letter you received and welcome! Others of you are here via facebook or referral...welcome to you too! Below is the support letter we sent out seeking partners for our mission trip. We are so excited to see what our great God will do in the next few months as we prepare for this incredible trip.


We trust this letter finds you enjoying the New Year with the realization that God is good…all the time! It is easy for Alicia and me to see God’s goodness as we watch Asher and Tatum grow and change. It is a real joy to discuss with them and teach them about the things that we see and the many needs in our world on a daily basis.
For instance, we speak often regarding the need for good drinking water in Africa and have been able to help provide a couple wells for communities there. Many nights, as we are praying together at bedtime, one of our children will want to pray for “the kids in Africa” which warms my heart every time. They have been jumping right in with us as we minister to some homeless teens in our area and others who are experiencing difficulty in these trying times. It is very cool to see their eyes open to these things at the same time ours do.
Alicia and I are growing and changing, also. We continue to be challenged with what it looks like to serve God, our children and each other. God has given us opportunity to get out of our comfort zone and serve Him in a way that we didn’t expect. As I mentioned, Africa has been a topic of conversation and ministry for our family. So, it is not surprising that God has asked us to step out in faith and go get some firsthand training and experience with the type of work that goes on there.
As a result, we will be traveling this summer to Kenya with a team from our church. We will be serving in Eldoret and Kisumu, Kenya from July 1 – 14. We will be working with Christian Relief Fund in the slums of those two cities. We will be in medical clinics, aids clinics and aids orphanages and we hope to host Vacation Bible School for the children in both cities.
We need your help. We would like you to partner with us and pray, beginning now, that our trip will be blessed and lives will be changed. Asher and Tatum will need your prayers also, as they will not be coming with us. Another way to join our team is by supporting us financially. It will take $8000 between the two of us to make this trip happen. This will cover the cost of airfare, accommodations, immunizations, and other supplies. Our final payment is due April 1st, 2010…no fooling.
Thank you for reading this letter and considering how you will be a part of this exciting journey. You will be able to keep up with us as we blog our way through Africa. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
