Kenya Team update

Jambo family and friends! God is in this place. On Sunday the team divided into 3 teams to attend worship services in Ngaamba. The services were 3 hours of prayer, song and dance that passed in the blink on an eye. In the afternoon, we broke out into small bible studies for men, woman and children where we spent time in Gods word and shared stories from our lives and our daily struggles (and of course the women discussed important topics like hair!). On Monday, our luggage arrived - praise God! We also began our first day of work. We divided into two teams - the builders and the teachers. On arrival, we were greeted by women dancing and singing - what an amazing blessing and awesome start to a work day! The builders hauled clay bricks two at a time weighing about 15 lbs each about a quarter of a mile to the construction site of the school. We worked side by side with the women and a few men. Their unwavering faith and sweet spirits inspired us to work hard. Some of the team "mowed the grass" which was really using a machete to chop away at the tall grass near the school. The teachers were invited into all 8 classrooms to teach math and reading with an american spin. It's amazing how big God's love is - childrens smiles and laughter are the same in any culture...and math is still math! That afternoon, we played football (soccer), volleyball, and other games with the children. On Tuesday, the team climbed Marwa Mountain with some of our friends from Ngaamba. The views from the top were stunning and the fellowship fulfilling. In the afternoon we played games with primary school children and walked and talked with the teenage girls. Please pray for Ngaamba. Pray for rain to ease the drought, for bountiful harvests to feed the families and for continued partnership with 410 Bridge. Please also pray for the health of the team.
