Seeing the passion and dedication of youth and young adult
s
in Kenya has placed a burning desire in me to see more active participation
from youth and young adults in my community.
From the time we arrived in
Kisimu, besides sleeping, there has not been a moment that we haven’t been
around youth/young adults. Waking
up in the morning we are often greeted by Lydia washing our laundry. Going to church in the mornings there
can be young adults found doing accounting or something to help the

the High school students. Nearly
one hundred students made decisions for God that day. I evangelized alongside of them going door to door. Twenty or so made decisions for Christ
that day. They also ministered to
the prisoners, leading them into worship and praise of God, praying for and
with them.
On Sunday this group brought even
more life into Deliverance Church on Kibos road. They worshipped the Lord in Spirit and in truth, using the
gifts, talents and emotions He gave them.
This group of young people truly blessed my soul. I hope to
