These last few days have been amazing. It’s astonishing how easily you can fall into a culture that is so hospitable. I guess I imagined that the people here would be upset with “mzungus”, after all, we are responsible for a lot of their current problems. But they are so willing to forgive. Every face I have seen has met me with a smile, every body with a hand stretched out to greet me. The joy of these people has astonished me.
Our team has spent a lot of time getting to know each other in the past few days, and I mean REALLY getting to know each other. I’m so blessed to be with the team that I am here with. Having the privilege of knowing them has made this whole summer worth wile already. I am completely unworthy to know them, and I am so grateful that I do.
We will be working with Victory Outreach Ministries, which has a lot of different kinds of outreach. I’m mainly interested in the prison ministry, street kid ministry, and micro-finance (i didnt even know they had this). Although we really only started intensive ministry today, I already know that I am in a great place. I’m excited to see where God needs me this summer, how He wants me to grow, and why I am here. It’s going to be a great summer!
