Letting God LEAD and DIRECT

Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me in going to Kenya this year so far. Being a short-term missionary in Kenya is a gift that God has blessed me with. I am going to continue being obedient with His callings in going to Kenya. I look forward to and am so excited to serving in Kenya this year and for the years to follow. This year I was offered to co-lead the Kenya team. So far God has stretched me and He has taught me so many new things, and we haven't even left for Kenya yet. I am so excited to experience Him more, and to learn from this incredible opportunity in leadership. Since my first year going to Kenya in 2009, till now in 2012 my relationship with Him has grown tremendously and I have fallen so much more deeply in love with Him. Its amazing to look back and see how much I have grown from my first year going and only being a team member of 35, and to see 4 years later where God NOW has me. 

Some of the 2012 Team bonding , as we built a shanty for the Disabilities Camp we are serving at next weekend. 



I will continue to need your support and prayers. I'm still in need of fundraising $2,500 for this years trip. In ministering in Kenya in these ways is something you would like to continue partnering with me in, either in prayer, or financially supporting me.
