Yesterday we went around the town of Kitale, Africa visiting some of the poorest areas in the city. We usually like to call these areas “the slums�. This is an experience I have been waiting to encounter for a while now. Why would I ever want to go to a place that is filled with poor people that do not smell good? Because God has transformed my heart over the past couple of years and he has made a special place in my heart for poor people and street children. I am instructed in the bible to give to the poor and love them as my neighbor.
(This is the home of someone we visited yesterday)
The first month on the world race I was in the Philippines. That month I visited a lot of areas that were called the slums. Every day, twice a day, we would go to a different part of the slums with two huge tubs of food to feed the starving. I was told that these people usually eat once a day so when we show up it blesses them. Ever since then God has put it on my heart to either be involved with an organization that feeds the hungry or start my own organization feeding people. Maybe it will be a full time job or maybe it will just be something I do on the side. I am not very sure exactly where God is leading me right now but I am seeking his guidance on what He wants me to do.
