Everything in Kenya is AMAZING!!!

It has been a couple of days since our last post and we apologize for the delay. We have traveled away from Narobi and into the city of Eldoret, more specifically a village area called Kip Karen. It is absolutley beautiful here and it has, without a doubt, the most welcoming and honoring people on the face of the planet.

We arrived to a host of little angels singing welcoming songs to us. We were each given a rose and walked around a huge circle, taking the time to shake hands and introduce ourselves to every person at Empowering Lives Training Center. It is quite amazing what ELI has done here. God really has worked through them to breath new life into a struggling ecomony with teaching them new ways to farm and become successful. They have even implemented a new dairy cooling station which puts enormous amounts of money back into the struggling economy.

The team is doing extremely well and feels very blessed. We are welcomed with open arms anywhere we walk and the word "Karibu" has become common verbage for us. Walking down the street to the children's home you will be bombairded by children, that will rush up to you with arms flung out, embracing you in a matchless feeling of love and tenderness.

Daryl and Joe have had immense fun working along some local Kenyan masonaries. "Keying" the homes in the children's home. It is a form of stucco, that proves to be a hard technique to master.

The kid's have blessed us so much. It is truly amazing to see the amount of joy that radiates from their faces from a simple hello. They know scripture like it was taught to them by Dora The Explorer and there is little we can do to teach them anything they don't already know. We have taught them a few american worship songs, which they absolutley loved and have done our best to hug each and everyone of them for our supporters back home!

Raylene, Genevieve and Katie have been doing excellent with the women's conference and will post a thorough post about that soon!

Please keep praying for us, as Joe has already experienced a Kenyan 24 hour flu on Thursday. He was told to take 2000mg of an antiboitic within a 2 hour period by our lovely team mom Gen. However he was only suppose to take 1000mg throughout the whole day. Well that overdose must have been sent from God because he is well now and was out in full force on Friday.

We are thankful for your continued prayers!

Asante,

Kenya Team 2
