Volunteer Teams
Earlier this year we requested prayer for volunteer teams for next year. We asked you to pray specifically for two teams to come and help with two projects we'd like to accomplish. God has answered those prayers!
In June, we plan to host a medical team from Australia! ACTS (African Christian Tours and Safaris) approached us about helping them host a team that wants to come and work here in Kenya. This team will be staying for over 2 weeks and will do some medical campaigns locally as well as hold a clinic in Ndederu at Pastor Bosco's church. We'll then load up and camp for several days, holding a medical camp in two rural locations, all in areas that will boost and support our Baptist churches. This will be interesting: American Missionaries in Kenya hosting volunteers from Australia! Only God could do that...
The end of July, Parkway Baptist Church in Goodlettsville, TN is pulling together a team to come and build a dorm for the boys at the Ogembo Orphanage. Earlier this year, Trace Creek Baptist came and built the girls' dorm above - so the boys are up next. They'll also do some work with the children and church members while there.
We thank those who have stepped forward to help out! We thank the Lord for bringing them our way. There are also some others who are in the talking/discovery stages of possibly coming next year as well. Volunteer teams are a great asset and make a difference for the Kingdom here in Kenya. So - Karibu sana! (Welcome)
