Kim and I went to the Coastal town of Malindi for a few days of "down time" before school starts. It was a much needed break from the busy summer and a chance for us to spend some time alone, doing nothing! We went for long walks and did not set an alarm and left our phones in the room! We even left the kids in Nairobi!

A team of 12 from Riverside Connection Church in Oakmont, Pa. joined us for ministry in the Masai village of Olentoko. Many people in the Rift Valley are still suffering from the recent drought. We delivered grocery bags of food for 500 families, each bag containing around 50 meals. The people were very happy and quickly began to divide the bags of food we had prepared so that it could be shared with neighbors who weren't able to be at the distribution. We were really humbled by their show of generosity towards their community. Thanks to Pastor Bill Ellis and the team from Oakmont for a job well done. Camping out and living in the dust for 3 days was an incredible experience and the impact in the community was great.

A greenhouse for a Masai Community

We spent the last two days in the village of Olontoko working with some Masai friends. We have built a greenhouse there and this Masai community is going to try farming! Turning this dry and dusty ground into rich, moist farming soil was a real chore. We are believing for more than just physical fruit in this harvest field! Pray with us for a Kingdom harvest!
