The last 2 Days in Kisumu

We're back in Nairobi tonight after a 2 day trip to Kisumu. Wednesday morning we flew out of Nairobi early and went to a very remote area about 45 miles outside of Kisumu. The Luhya tribe welcomed us into their remote village as we helped to build a new home for a widow and her 4 children. We were entertained by tradional songs and also were told that we were the first white people to ever visit their village! This morning we went to another Luhya community in a very remote area near the equator about 40 miles southeast of Kisumu. As another house was constructed for a widow and her 6 children, we prayed and shared praise with the community as well as watched our children have fun and play with the Luhya children. This was the first time the children had ever seen or interacted with white people and they were filled with joy. So many stories to tell and not enough time. The message of love and salvation through Jesus Christ was shared in Swahili and English and further added to our already impactful journey - truly a life changing trip! Tomorrow we head to Nakuru to visit the baby orphanage and help with some minor repairs. Attached on the separate blog below are a small set of pictures from the last 2 days. Praise God for His provision and love.
