Hello from Malava or Malanga or Kakamega or Webuye…
Truthfully I am not even sure of the proper name of the area which we now call home…but honestly it doesn’t matter.
I THINK we live in a small village that goes by the name of Malanga, named for the family we are living with. They have 4 sons and 2 daughters, which as they tell us by Kenyan standards is small. They are amazing! The head of the family we call simply ‘Malanga’ and he is the pastor of the church we are working with and an accountant by trade.
We are so blessed by them and the ways they serve and welcome us into their home and family. Their land and farm is simply beautiful and I hope to get some pictures up soon.
As we guessed, internet is pretty much non-existent for a 45 minute radius around us which means we will only have a chance to catch up once a week on our day off (which is Friday).
For ministry thus far we are broken up into 3 teams and we have been going around the surrounding villages with some of our new Kenyan friends and praying for people and telling them about Jesus and inviting them to join us at church. I have never felt so welcomed and comfortable around complete strangers! The people here truly are one of a kind and I know no other way to describe them. We will also be helping with the youth at the church and will help preach and lead worship at the church on Sunday. Whatever is to come everyone is very excited about it as the general consensus of our team is that they are absolutely in love with Kenya and it’s people!
I am so thankful to be in Kenya and be on this trip and be living with our new family…so thank you to all of you who have made this possible.
I love you all!
