Bwana Asafiwe!

Hey Everyone!

So sorry I haven’t been able to update as regularly as I wanted/planned to. Getting Internet is a little bit of an ordeal with uploading and trying to have time to do everything.

Well first of all, thank you for the prayers. I am so encouraged by having a team of prayer warriors at home, and believe me we need it! God has richly blessed us with such a wonderful team, which is amazing considering the work we will be involved in.

To give you an update on the boy from my last post,  the he has been put under the custody of the church and is staying with the Makukus. Praise God! (Bwana Asafiwe). God is so good and is teaching me his plan is perfect, not only in this situation but in many others.

I really enjoy Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when we get to spend time in Kibera. I am responsible for helping to teach a pre-unit class. (Pre-k). I love it. I have really enjoyed being able to build relationships with the children and adults here. I feel so blessed.

So how can you be praying?

-Team unity

-That I would have a spirit of dependance on the Lord, that I would go to Him for my joy and my strength.

-That I would take on the nature of a servant, and want to serve others before myself.

-That God would draw me closer to Himself, even in the hard times.

Thank you for reading and thank you for your prayers! I’ll try and update my blog on Friday when I have my day off. 

In your relationships with one another, 

have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

 ⁶ Who, being in very nature God, 

   did not consider equality with God 

something to be used to his own advantage; 

⁷ rather, he made himself nothing 

   by taking the very nature of a servant, 

   being made in human likeness. 

⁸ And being found in appearance as a man, 

   he humbled himself 

   by becoming obedient to death— 

      even death on a cross!

Philippians 2:5-8
