Thank you for sharing this amazing experience. Thank you for sharing your love, His love through you.

I have a beloved friend working in Tanzania. It is so easy to glorify her work in my head, but my heart reminds me that it is not an easy calling. She longs to love the Maasai women, but they are often hidden in their tents. May God give strength to the weary and send laborers to hold up the arms of his beloved.

Your post is heartbreaking and inspiring. I am a teacher in AL and my class studies and learns about Kenya every year! We also have a 20 minute presentation on Kenya that we present for the school. I would love to hear more about your trip and any additional information you would be willing to share with me and my curious 1st grade students!

My family and I just started sponsoring 2 children a little over a month ago.

Not sure where exactly you guys will be going in Kenya but one of our sponsored children is at the African Inland Church--Ikanga Child Development Center. If you happen to go there and think of it, please find Mercy Njeri Kenneth, give her a huge hug and tell her that her sponsor family loves and prays for her every single day.

God bless you guys on your trip and have a safe return home.

Just found your blog today. Beautiful! I am a single mom of 6 and we sponsored our first 4 children about 4 yrs ago. We now sponsor 9 and hope one day to visit them too. What an experience you must be having! Sherri

Oh Kristen, my heart goes out to your heart. You ARE gifted. It wasn't an accident you were chosen, and I bet the results of your efforts will exceed far beyond your imagination, maybe something you'll never even know, but it's going on in the hearts of those who read your words and the lives you're touching on that trip this very moment.

Much love to you!

Tears, joy, pangs of despair and most of all HOPE. Thank you, Kristen, and others, who are brave enough to listen and serve.

He Said,

I see in the eyes of my beautiful wife the love of Christ. The same love she extended to me when I needed forgiveness of dirty sin.

I see in the eyes of Kenya's children hope. Hope because you, beautiful readers of We are THAT family, coming alongside to sponsor children and pray.

I see in Christ, the hope of glory, children that I, small insignificant me, will one day sing HIS praises with in heaven.

In the words of an old song, "This world is not our home. We are merely passing through. Our treasures are laid somewhere beyond the blue."

Jesus said, "For where your treasure is, there you are heart will be also."

Join Kristen and I and invest in a heavenly IRA by sponsoring one or two of these precious children.

Will another new dress or golf club make you happy? No. Sponsoring a child will make an eternal difference.

With love,
