Well I guess I can say I am not much of a Blogger! I intended to summarize my trip last year and only typed up one week. I am trying to find the best way to let people know about my upcoming mission trip and am not sure of the most efficient source. So once again I will try Facebook and this Blog. I do plan on taking my computer with me this year so perhaps I will be able to keep up with some posts??
Once again I am blessed
to be returning to Kenya for five weeks this summer. I will be working at the
Fiwagoh Mission Orphanage. While at the
orphanage, one of our team
projects will be running a Math/Science camp for the 240+ orphans and conducting teacher training. Each year I travel to
Africa, God has opened my heart to new experiences and relationships all
bounded by His heart that is full of love and grace.
I am asking first
and foremost for prayer for our team and myself. In this time Africa is becoming more volatile and Christians
are being attacked. As I travel
there I know God has called me to go and am not afraid, however the power of
prayer can change outcomes!
One of my
responsibilities is to design and lead the Math/Science camp for
kids in grades 6-12. This
represents approximately 70 students.
Some of the camp activities will be: making kaleidoscopes out of PVC
pipes, making rainbows, calculating the height of the water tower (indirect
measurement), geometry scavenger hunt, orienteering treasure hunt, and tie-die
t-shirts. If you would like to make
donations towards the purchase of supplies you can do it in one of the
following ways:
§
Send a
check or cash to me.
§
Go
online to Equip1.org and donate under my name.
Some of the items that
I still need to purchase:
§
70 –
Geometry Templates, $4.50
each
§
15 – digital cameras
§
Sets of
Sharpy markers
Prayer Requests:
§
Safety,
discernment, and grace
Peace and Joy,
Kris
