Mathare Valley

Friends,

Tomorrow I am departing on my 3 week ministry assignment to Mathare Valley in Nairobi Kenya. There I will be teaching in a school, working at a daycare, ministering to women who are HIV positive and doing street evangelism in the slums. I will also probably be preaching at a local church. Mathare Valley is the oldest slum in Kenya and possibly all of Africa. It was the place we visited a few days ago. It was the place I met Desi. I will be staying at the home of a Kenyan pastor and he will direct some of our ministry. Apparently, there are sometimes where me and my ministry partner will be dropped off in the slum and told to evangelize. So street preaching is a real possibility. I am excited that the Lord has called me to be good news to the people in the slum of Mathare Valley. I am excited to have an opportunity to be a bold ambassador for Jesus. I am bracing my heart to be ripped open during my 3 weeks in the slum. The spirit of the Lord is present in Kenya. Peace is upon me. I will proclaim the good news of the gospel wherever I go.
