MINISTRY MANUAL LABOR pretty much sums up our ministry in Kenya, but its good 🙂 It is teaching me a lot of what it means to serve in a physical sense. To do things which require zero muscle or brain power for hours and not complain. Something that really stood out to me this past week from ministry is something a hospital direrector said. "People here have never seen white people come and do Manuel labor, yes they come but with there own agenda they don't come and say how can I help". This pretty much sums up the reason why we are doing so much. We have cut grass, sweeped floors, dewedded hospital grounds, cleaned windows, cleaned hundreds of chairs, and racked leaves. Why? simply because I be live Jesus would have if he was asked to
PRAISE REPORT 10 people have been saved!!! during or time in Kenya during our three times of street evangelism. This has been a great time where we just go out into the community and just be. We are available and God just shows up. Its so cool one moment you are knocking on someones door and the next you are sat on their couch. I have been truly humbled though in doing this. Most peoples houses that we visit are no bigger than my bedroom back home! and seven people live in the house! It sucks to see it but its the reality there are so many people out there hurting and in need if hope. At the same time these people don't need bigger homes to be happy they know that they just need more of Jesus people in Kenya are hungry for more of Jesus!
