Amazing Day





What an amazing day! God has shown His light in Ongata Rongai! We made our first visit to Beacon of Hope today, where we will spend the majority of our time in Kenya. The day began with morning devotions, where we had the opportunity to meet Beacon staff as well as the women who are taking part in one of several trade-training programs. We toured the facility and learned more about the processes and function of Beacon. The staff was so wonderful and welcoming. After morning tea, founder Jane Wathome, gave us an extensive tour of their new facility which is a little over 2km from their current location. The Lord has truly blessed this project with the necessary funding, skilled engineers and countless others who are deeply emersed in building the new site.

Our team later broke up into groups to begin our set up for Wednesday's Medical Camp in Bissil and Saturday's VCT Camp at Beacon. I had an opportunity to place posters around the city and in the Kware slum. The response was remarkable. Several men and women stopped us on the street and inquired about the services and care they could receive. It was a long day, but the fruits of our labor will be evident throughout the week.
