Kenya 2007


Happy New Year to everyone! I hope that you are all having a wonderful holiday. I have started the new year in Kenya. The trip has been wonderful so far. Meg and Larissa are doing great. For all the doubters out there have no fear, they are doing so much better than even i could have imagined. They seemed to just have become Kenyan upon arrival. They are doing better in 3 days in Kenya than I have done even on my second trip back. So please continue to pray for them as they are just getting started.



We have spent time at Simba village and it is wonderful. Somethings have changed. Pastor Lebon is no longer with them along with a few of the other staff. So they are in a transition stage. The farm is doing amazing. In one month from the tomatos they grew they made $5000 US dollars. That is a stinkin lot of money over here. So they are looking to expand the farm because it has done so good.



Yesterday we went to visit Pastor Edward in Nairobi. He showed us his church and took us on a tour of there new VCT center. This is the center where they will test people for AIDS and counsel them. It is a really amazing place. We went to his house and shared a meal with his family last night. They have a lovely home and his kids are so funny.



This morning we woke up at 4:30am to go with Pastor Boniface to downtown Nairobi to feed the street kids. It was amazing to see some of the kids had stopped getting high from the glue. He is truly serving God and making a huge impact on kids lives that the world has forgotten about. Wow! We will join him again in the morning where there will be somewhere around 45 kids that we will feed and pray with.



I will tell more details about each of these experiences when i get more time to write. I just wanted to post and say that we are all doing well, felling great and excited to be here. We miss all of you and think that everyone should come and visit!!!

cheers, ben

ps friday night simba is having an all night prayer and worship service. it should be funny to see how long us americans can hold out...wish me luck!
