I’ll be spending the majority of this month with an old friend in Mukuru Slum named Mary Mambo. I met Mary when I was just a youngster during my first or second trip to Kenya in 2002 or 2003. Mary runs an amazing ministry in the slum called Cana Family Life. Here’s a picture to help you reminisce with me –
I was super excited when we got to start setting up ministries for Kenya. I gave the logistics team a list of contacts that I thought would be great for our squad. They asked me which one I would like to go to and I knew Mary Mambo’s was where I wanted to be. Mary is an incredible, spirit-led woman of God who spends all her time, energy, and money helping the people in Mukuru Slum.
Currently, Mary Mambo has a clinic that delivers between 100-200 babies per month, a school with about 100 students, a church, and a rescue center for abused girls. She stays busy with all of that going on every day.
We are working with the kids in the school (and the ones on the street), delivering babies, giving immunizations, loving on people in the waiting room in the clinic, and working in the lab. We’re also living with Team Day Three. It’s a wonderful team comprised of great people from my squad.
My team is doing Unsung Heroes this month, which means we are searching around Kenya for people that bring God’s Kingdom to earth without always being recognized for it. I get the privilege of traveling to Kisumu with the other three squad leaders on the hunt for Unsung Heroes. I’m leaving in a few days to head up to Kisumu to visit old friends.
Please pray that we have a safe journey and that God fills our path with divine appointments. Pray that we meet and minister to the people that need it the most and that great relationships come out of this next week.
