Thank You

Posted by will | Filed under Christianity, Kenya, Technology, Thoughts

On the eve of my departure to Kenya, I just wanted to take a minute and say thank you to all of the people that have partnered with me on this journey.
Because of the sacrifices that you have made, lives are going to be changed 8000 miles away from the U.S. I don’t want you to lose the significance of that. People will hear about The Gospel because you were willing to give. People will be shown an example of Christ’s love because of the sacrifice you made.

It is easy for us to get caught up in what God is doing around where we live in the U.S. It is easy to forget that worship doesn’t just take place in our buildings with electricity, heat and air conditioning. Last time I was in Kenya, I got to walk 2 miles to a church with no electricity. Along that walk to church we were joined by kids as young as 3 who would normally walk 2 or 3 miles to get to church. I can’t begin to describe the authentic worship that I got to be a part of that day. The God that we serve is huge and he is at work all across the world.

I can’t tell you how excited I am to be in Segera and see what God is going to do through this trip. I could describe what God, while I am there, by showing you photos and a video to help you understand, but that would only give you a mere glimpse. I wanted to somehow give each of you a window to this journey, so if (read as a big IF- i.e. 3rd world country + technology) everything goes as planned I will be Twittering while I’m there. I hope that it will give you a better view of what God is doing by providing real time updates of what is happening. I think this will give you a better view of day to day activity rather than me trying to remember a whole day of events when I get back to the hotel.

If everything goes as planned you should be able to follow along here.

I hope this will give you an increased perspective of how big God really is and will lead you to either go on a trip yourself or continue to support others; whichever God lays on your heart.
