Niarobi, Kenya
People in Kenya beautiful. They’re faces have such distinct beauty. But their hospitality and welcoming spirit is even more lovely. With everything, we have been greeted with “you are most welcome,” “feel at home,” and my favorite, “feel free.” Two simple words. But they have almost given me permission to actually …FEEL FREE. The past two months have been hard ones. I have wrestled with God about a lot of things. And this month, it is as if these beautiful people are telling me to walk in something different. To walk in the beauty of freedom.
It is quite a change from the oppression we experienced last month in Turkey. I even feel a slight skip in my step! I will write more later. I will continue to catch you up from Israel and Turkey and all that God is doing in Africa – and He is quite on the move here! But I wanted you to know that I am here and loving it!
I am thankful for all of you – your support, love, and prayers! Happy New Year!
Uhuru!
