The Bible tells us in James 1:27 “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world”. I have found this in Kenya Relief. In the past 8 years I have discovered so many things about the world and myself that is truly amazing.
So many scriptures have caught my attention during this time frame, scriptures that I had read before but were given new meaning by experiencing the “orphans & widows” and the “sick & hungry” of the world. Kenya Relief has given me the opportunity to be a part of an organization that is constantly looking for ways to actively demonstrate God’s word here on earth. It can give you that opportunity too. Check us out!

The Old Testament tells a story of a man named Jacob who wrestled with God. Before surrendering to a call that would take me far away from my comfortable life, I too wrestled with God. As He did with Jacob, God touched me and blessed my life forever. Unlike the touch to Jacob’s hip that left a lifelong remembrance, God touch my heart, opened it wide and caused me fall in love with Kenya and the wonderful people who live there. My six years of short-term missions to Migori Kenya have enriched my life more than words can express.
