Kenya - Week 2

Thank you for all of your prayers. Some of you know that Melissa and I have not been feeling our best, but we both stayed behind a day and are feeling much better. We are ready for our safari.
It has been great working at the BCC, but it can become somewhat overwhelming being at the same place everyday. The safari will be a good break for us to renew and re-energize.
I believe that Nairobi is a different Africa than we expected. There is so much need here that it seems just overwhelming and hopeless at times. There is one thing though: God is not smaller than all of this and he is definitely at work here. He has opened up some new ministry opportunities that we’re all excited about. We are going to spend some time in Buckner's school ministry in the Korogocho slum area, which we are all excited about. God has tugged all our hearts in a certain place at the Korogocho school.
Carla's sewing ministry is going really well. The girls are all still shy, but loving working with Carla. It has really been an encouragement to the girls and to us. God has also opened up some opportunity to possibly help these girls make and sell their items. We ask for your continued prayer for this ministry.
Since we get back in the early evening, we have to find ways to entertain ourselves. We have played many games of UNO (thanks Jeremy), quizzed each other on Trivial Pursuit, and had many conversations. Last night, a lady at the place we are staying invited us to watch a movie with her in her room. That was such a good time for us. We have really been encouraged by the people we have met here where we are staying.
Well, next week we will let you know how the safari and things go. Again, thanks so much for the prayers.
Sending much love from Kenya,
Kristin
