The Ends of the Earth

Hello Everyone! I had the incredible opportunity of going on a mission trip to Kenya with NewSpring Church back in June. I cannot even tell you how grateful I am to all the countless people who supported me. That includes the people who gave financially, but also the people who helped me fundraise, and the tons of people who prayed for my trip. Thank you all so much. 

My trip to Kenya truly was life changing. I got to experience first hand how joyful and passionate the people of Kenya are. While we as Americans don't think they have hardly anything, they think they have everything. And they are so thankful for it all. I got to meet many Kenyans who had a relationship with Jesus Christ and the joy they portrayed was mind blowing. Jesus is all they need. It was yet another reminder of all we have to be thankful for. 

While in Kenya the Lord gave me many opportunities to pray with and encourage people. To pour into them, and just love on them. He allowed me to be a part of 5 people praying to receive Jesus into their hearts and surrendering their lives to Him! I will never forget those opportunities, and how humbling each conversation was. As a team we saw a total of 60 salvations and 734 patients in the medical clinic who received free medical care. Jesus allowed us to be His hands and feet to the people of Kenya, and I am blown away that I got to be a part of it. 

Here are a few pictures of our time there.
