Nakuru Baby Orphanage Visit

Today we drove about 2 hours northwest of Nairobi to meet with Trena, the staff of His Cherished Ones Orphanage and the baby residents. What a great work Trena is doing in her passion to serve the Lord as He has directed. There are 9 current residents with one intake this morning. The children are all beautiful and our two families spent time loving on these little ones. In addition to the orphanage, Trena has brought 8 local single mothers who have come together and work daily at the orphanage knitting head ware and blankets as a fundraiser to provide for their salaries and help support the orphanage. She has also taken in 5 boys that have been living on the street ranging in age from 7 to 17; they now live on her home compound as she shares the saving grace of Jesus' love with them to help give them hope and provide for their immediate needs.

We have an early flight to Lodwar in the morning where we will spend the next 4 days at The House of Hope orphanage. Specific prayer request for the team are for energy, strength, healing, and discernment - the amount of activity has been non stop and emotionally charged and draining at times. God is good all the time!
