Trip Preparation
Last Thursday our team gathered to begin packing for our trip. Everyone brought team items they collected to add to the multitude of shoes, socks and hats donated by the people of Blackhawk. The room was strewn with everything from stuffed animals to IV tubing for the medical clinic.
In all, we loaded 14 bags full of craft supplies, medicine, hand sanitizer, shoes and more! It was encouraging to see how well our team dove into the task at hand, working with an incredible sense of unity. At the end of the night, the chaotic mass of team items had been neatly packed into a long line of luggage. As we prayed over the bags-- that their contents would be a blessing to the intended recipients-- it was overwhelming to realize how much of an impact people can have by simply giving.
The many donors will never meet those who receive the goods they gave. In fact, few of the donors may ever travel to Kenya. However, through their generosity, these contributors are extending God's love to those with few material possessions. In so doing, they are heeding the call of Jesus to love the unlovely.
Thank you to all of you who have donated items and money to this endeavor. You may never fully know the impact of your giving. However, we hope to communicate many stories from our time in Kenya so you will get a taste of the fruit of your giving.
