I finally found your blog! Kristen, just know that I'm right here with you. God brought you to Kenya the first time and laid a heavy burden on you for those kids. Now He has brought you back to them. Part of your heart was waiting for you when you landed in Mombasa. NOW it all begins....
My heart was crushed during a trip I took to Kenya one year ago. Within less than two weeks my life was changed forever. I witnessed firsthand children living in extreme poverty. These precious children have potential beyond imagination; however, living in an environment with no hope reduces the likely hood of this potential being put into practice.
The church I attend in Waukesha (Fox River Christian Church) is teamed up with Manna Worldwide and missionaries in Mombasa. They have established centers that take in these very children living in hopelessness. The disadvantaged children are fed, educated and academically and spiritually at these centers. Due to the new environment the children are put in, they have HOPE.
Excellent!
