Ready to leave for Kenya!




 Bags are packed and we are ready to leave for Kenya!! 


SO excited to be leaving in just two days to go serve and love on the precious children of Happy Life Children's Home in Nairobi!         

The really exciting news is...not only do we have our own bags packed and ready to go, but we were able to collect enough donations of clothing and supplies for the children to fill 6 large suitcases to bring along with us...thanks to all of our generous supporters!!!  

We will be leaving this Friday, May 15 and arrive in Nairobi on Saturday evening and will be staying and serving at Happy Life Children's Home for 9 days.  We will be staying in guest accommodations at Happy Life, which is a 4-story complex just outside Nairobi City Center.

We will also be visiting the children at Happy Life Christian School, at their Juja Campus about an hour away.  The school is open to the community and teaches the children from a Christ-Centered perspective. They currently have 67 children attending the school.

We are planning to take the children on outings to a Giraffe Park & Nature Preserve and a nature walk in the Nairobi National Park, where the children can feed the giraffes and monkeys, enjoy nature...and just have fun.


I can't wait to see the many ways God will use us to bring LOVE, JOY, and HOPE to these precious children and to the orphanage staff as we are His hands and feet....AND what He will do in our hearts as well, as we serve Him!!
