Outreach Day II

We had Term 2's Outreach Day last weekend and, once again, it was absolutely wonderful. The 7th grade class decided they wanted to go to Old Kijabe Town - about a 15 minute drive - to do games with the Kenyan kids there like they did in 6th grade. Since I'm a 7th grade sponsor, I was asked to go along and, well, when do I ever turn down a chance to play with kids? Never, really. The thing I liked better about this time than the last time is that I knew the kids I went with. Watching my 7th graders play and teach and serve the Kenyans was... beautiful. They were full of joy and the Kenyans seemed to have a blast. We may not have worked as hard as some of the other groups, but there was definitely a huge amount of love that was shared and I believe that's just as important for everyone involved.










Beautiful...






"Happy the man whose hopes rely
On Israel's God; He made the sky,
And earth and seas, with all their train;
His truth forever stands secure;
He saves the oppressed, He feeds the poor,
And none shall find His promise vain."
- Isaac Watts
"You have been a refuge to the poor,
a refuge for the needy in his distress,
a shelter from the storm
and a shade from the heat."
- Isaiah 25:4
