God's Heart for Orphans

When we travel to Kenya, we will serve with a leadership team at the local church. We have been praying together for the last 9 months about this Giant that we are coming against. This giant problem of millions of orphans with no families.

Our time in Kenya will be spent in prayer, learning, teaching, brainstorming, exploring and facilitating. We are leading workshops with the local team to discover what they see as the biggest problems and how they might attack them. We've been inspired by Elizabeth Styffe and Steve Rutenbar at Saddleback Church, and by the authors of Helping Without Hurting and Orphanology to name a few great resources. We have learned so much in preparation for this work.

But we still feel overwhelmed, humbled and insufficient. As we turn to God and seek His power and purpose we are excited, willing and amazingly calm! We feel so ready to see God work within us and through us and through the team in Kenya to change the world for orphan children!

We know that God will guide us each step. He is strong and He is trustworthy and He loves these orphan children so very passionately! Everything that He has taught us through all He has taken us through in our lives and ministry has prepared us for such a time as this!
