Habari!!! (Greetings!!!!)
I just wanted to thank you for all your prayers and support throughout my training and preparation for the trip. It has truly been a blessing seeing and experiencing how powerful and encouraging the body of Christ can be!
Intensive training is finally over, and I embark on the trip tomorrow morning, or more like in a few hours. God has been cultivating my heart and it literally feels like it's about to explode! I'm excited to see how God is going to work in the hearts of the Kenyans and my heart as well!
Ok straight to the schedule and prayer requests :)

Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for spiritual power and love in EVERYTHING I do whether it's VBS, skits, body worship, preaching, evangelizing, praying,
- Conviction and confirmation in my calling through the Word
- Physical Health, especially with bug bites b/c I'm extremely prone to getting bit and with stomach problems.
- For Post-Missions, especially since it will be my first year not being a student and starting my teaching career. Please pray that I will be a good steward of my time, energy, and money. I want to build good biblical habits of how I'm going to live out my adult life.
- I play the tempter role in one skit and Satan in another. Playing these roles can be spiritually difficult and dark so please keep me in your prayers. Please also pray that I would give my best even in these roles so that the skits could better portray God's love and redemptive plan.
- That I would have a good attitude throughout the trip. Please pray that I would also remember what a privilege and opportunity this entire trip is. Please pray that the Gospel message would compel me to have a grateful heart.
- Please pray for the house to house/market place evangelism. As I have been preparing to present the Gospel message I'm realizing that it's a lot more difficult than I initially thought because I rarely share the gospel. This has been a rebuking/humbling realization and it makes me want to witness more often after the trip is over. Please pray for spiritual power and that God over work in the hearts of the Kenyans despite my inabilities.
- That I would be faithful with all my responsibilities - praise leading, carrying speakers, backup video recorder, roles in skits, VBS, body worship.
- Please pray that as I learn to submit to my team leaders, that I would also learn how to submit to our heavenly Father. Selective obedience to God's Word has always been a problem to me and I want to learn how to be faithful/obedience to not just some, but ALL of God's Word!
Thanks again for your prayers and support!!!
