I thought I would give everyone an update on how my trip to Kenya is going and how you can be praying for me. For those of you who did not know, I am spending 10 weeks of my summer in Kenya volunteering as a camp counsellor and doing various short term projects.
My trip began on May 23, and I will be back on August 1. Today was the last day of staff training and tomorrow will be the first day of camp.
This past week has been filled with training, team building, and fellowship between counselors.
This has really been a blessing to me, as I went into this trip not knowing any of my fellow team members beforehand. We've prayed together, learned together, and spiritually and emotionally prepared ourselves and each other for camp.
This coming week, starting tomorrow, I will have a cabin of 8th grade boys. Most of them will be missionary kids or kids with strong Christian parents. However, many of them will not have made their faith their own. Also, many of them struggle with their cultural identity. They don't completely fit in in Kenya, but they also don't fit in in the US or wherever they are from.
Pray that they will experience the weight of the gospel and be challenged to follow Christ for themselves. Pray also that I may be able to love them well and speak what they need to hear. Pray throughout the summer that my heart would be continually transformed into that of a servant. Thank you. God bless!
