It's time to load up and head back to East Africa! This coming Wednesday I'll be heading out to Kenya for a 2 1/2 week excursion leading a group of ambitious university students from Las Cruces, NM on the mission adventure of a lifetime. This trip kind of sprung up on me - my former colleague from Kenya, Jaime Swift, called me up about a month ago and said his church was sending a group of college students to volunteer at the MCRC (Maarifa Chrisitan Resource Centres) that we helped begin years ago on the Coast. They had a better turn-out than expected and needed an additional "experienced" guide to come along. Of course I had to say yes! Thanks to the church there, the college minister Greg Bowles, Jaime and Intercede (the non-profit that continues to support and administer work at the MCRC locations in Kilifi and Kaloleni, I have yet another chance to continue my involvement with what God is doing along Coastal Kenya.
Please be in prayer for our group as we travel and try to be of service to our good friends in the Kilifi Area. God is good and we are looking for a grand time of serving our brothers and sisters!
The group from New Mexico State University.
A "dhow" is a traditional Kenyan boat commonly found along the coast where we will be working.
Our ministry will largely focus on helping MCRC, who in turns focuses on working with Kenyan youth.
The Board of MCRC has planned 2 weeks full of activities and we really appreciate their willingness to host us and get things organized! From left to right are: Fredrick Kaingu, John Kenga, Duncan Ziro, Daniel Kahindi, Mike Thethe and Luganje Nyale.
