We are bushed! Phew!

The day started bright and early with morning devotions, breakfast, organizing bags for the day, then we jumped into the van at 830. A few rooms slept late, which was okay because they slept! 


First on the itinerary was a stop at a spiritual group meeting. We met with Diana, Emma, Siphrosa, Helen and Miriam. We enjoyed a time of singing, prayer, stories of God’s goodness and a message on walking the straight path. While little ones were  coloring and enjoying sweeties around us.



After the meeting we had a lovely visit with Diana, all outside in the warm scented rural Kenyan air. The plants, flowers and birds joining in to proclaiming God’s goodness and creativity.


We also visited with Siphrosa, Helen Margaret and Lillian, hearing more stories of God’s goodness and how the VOH project has helped them during the hard days of Covid restrictions. Each woman has her own struggles and blessings and it is such a privilege to be part of their lives. Each woman we are visiting receives our love, a word of scripture, and this year a lovely shawl and toques for the children. 



After arriving home we had the privilege of gathering together to pray a blessing on and dedicate Aggrey’s new motorcycle. He has worked hard at his driving lessons, passed his exam and is now a licensed driver.


We are all healthy and well fed, hydrated and loving it here. Thank you for your prayers and words of encouragement.

Driving across Kenya

 Wednesday morning, we woke bright and early for a wonderful breakfast at 0600 and were on the road to Kakamega by 714. Tom remains our trusty driver which by the end of the day would take on a whole new meaning.  We stopped at a view point to look at The Great Rift Valley. A huge expansive valley where animals used to live and travel through. This area is lush and is now being used for homes, and farm land . The Great Rift runs from Israel to Mozambique.  The animals no longer roam there, they are now kept in gated parks for their own safety and preservation from poacher/hunters . Along the roadside on our travels we saw numerous markets boasting tomatoes, carrots, cabbages, watermelons, potatoes, bagged onions and bananas.  We also saw monkeys, zebras, antelope in parks, as well as donkeys, goats and other farm animals along the roadside and inland grazing. Farm animals were  attached to a peg in the ground with a rope .  Anytime we slowed down in towns and cities there were avid sal

The Warmest Welcome Ever...

We travelled to See-eye-ya (Siaya) today , settled into our new accomodations at Pastor Silas'house for the next 3 nights. We then went and visited with 6 widows .  Then off to receive the warmest welcome we've ever received from the kids at Yogo Glory Center Academy.  These kids know how to sing well , they have lots of energy and their dancing is so fun to watch. Helen and Lauri were more then  happy to join them and proved that they had moves we never knew about.  How liberating 😄 The school program is a very well thought out program with 320 students and 11 teachers and based on the scriptures . It teaches children from kindergarten to gr 8 . The administration works hard to ensure that the students learn how to study well, are responsible for their actions and give them the best chance to do well on final exams which determines the quality of their secondary education. All the Gr 8's  board at the school a week before exams and the week of exams so that they remain in

Arrived!

 Clear sailing through the air, through immigration, through customs! Woo! Then outside to the loving smiles of Everlyne, Tom and Alan. It’s a lovely Nairobi night, dark and full of the sounds of people chatting and laughing as they clear out of JKIA.  Tom is now driving us to Shalom for a nights rest. Traffic is light and the streets are quiet. Thank you for the prayers!
