Cypress Meadows Kenya Trip

Connie and Jennifer share their experiences and perspectives on our visit the Nakauru landfill today.

It’s hard to believe that this is the 4th day of our trip.  The first two were kind of a blur of travel.  We stayed in Nairobi Friday night and drove to Nakuru the next morning – straight to Springs of Hope.  We had a wonderful time with the kids of SOHK Saturday afternoon and [...]

In a few short hours we’ll be boarding a plane for Kenya to serve the staff and kids of Springs of Hope Kenya and the people in the surrounding community of Nakuru. We covet your prayers. Here’s how you can follow along & keep in touch during our trip.

Thanks to all the kids who were a part of Kids Connection at Cypress Meadows this past Sunday and sang (and motioned) their hearts out for the video we’re taking to Springs of Hope Kenya. Here are the vids!

Only 6 days before we depart for Kenya! Yea! I am so proud of the 5 people who will be serving with me because of the way they’ve persevered in faith despite adversity. Connie Roeleven faced what seemed like an insurmountable obstacle. Here’s her story:

Thank you to all the kids (and parents) who wrote their God stories & had their pictures taken this past Sunday. Check out a few sample pages from the Cypress Meadows story book we’re taking to Springs of Hope Kenya.

While in Kenya we’ll be doing a community outreach with a “story” theme and connecting the stories of kids at Springs of Hope and Cypress Meadows Community Church.

Read about how God helped us overcome a major hurdle with our airline baggage plus details on the cool community outreach event we’re planning.

It seems like nothing has come easy as we have made preparations to serve in Nakuru, Kenya this July, but God has always come through for us. That was the case as we secured airline tickets this week.

Thanks to all who contributed to the success of the chili cook-off and auction. Pics, plus where we go from here…
