We are in our second day of teaching and we are having a great time. Traveling here was VERY exhausting but all of the pain and exhaustion went away as we met our students and we have seen their excitement. Children's ministry is such a new concept to these leaders, but they are eager and willing to learn. They are very smart, and very hard workers. Pastor Charles has such a vision for children's ministry. They are already outgrowing their children's building, but I hope to show them some ways to work around their large numbers. We all want to go home with nothing else left to offer or give.

As we have prayed about our upcoming Dangerous Surrender campaign, the team has been praying about Kenya as a place to serve. Regina made a contact with a man that needs help starting an orphanage. He is going to show us where his slum ministry is on Saturday. I am doing my best to prepare our team for what they are going to see. They have an idea, because in a non slum area the poverty is extreme and the conditions are alarming.
I am wondering if God is answering our prayer regarding our future ministry. I know He will, but I am not sure how. I will keep you posted.

We are going to teach for one more hour and then I am going to meet the child I sponsor through Compassion International. What a good day!
