Life in Kenya

Hi everyone! I wanted to write and tell you what God has been doing in Kibera. Every day the team splits up into 2 groups, 1 group goes to the adventures school to tutor, while another group (my group) goes to Monica’s school to help teach. Monica Cross is a passionate woman of GOD. He testimony amazes me. She lives in Kibera and has 5 children. Her job is not like most jobs however. God told her to start a feeding program for children in Kibera. Every saturday she prepares lunch for them, free of charge. NOt only that she also started a school and feeds the children breakfast and lunch, free of charge. And how does she make money? She sells mandazis  every morning to fund her feeding programs. When mandazis are not sold however, the children go without. But the Lord is faithful and he provides.So we have seen God work and provide for Monica’s children (all 50 of them Mon-Fri. And 200 of them on saturdays). I love helping at the school, the kids are such a blessing! The ages are from 3 years old to around 7 years old. After Monica’s the team meets back up at the AIM house for lunch. Then, we split up into more groups and go to different ministry sites. These ministries conisist of Door to Door, Detention Center, Kibera Youth Program and The Therapy Center. We work at these places until 4,30 then we head home. We have made many friendships with people in Kibera, it will be sad to leave them. But we know that God has a plan for their lives and he will take care of them. Next tuesday we will be leaving to go to Nivasha. (hour and half from here). Then we will head to Eburu to do ministry there. We are all excited to go and we have been doing ministry prep for the past 2 days. And then we head home! Time flies so fast! But God has been doing some amazing things here. He has provided us with translators that are so helpful, and people that are a pleasure to work with. We have done some open air ministries which have been very effective and many people have come to Christ! Please be praying for us as we travel. Much love!-TINA
