Kisumuuuuu

Wow! We had an AMAZING time in Kisumu! We had the privilege of doing so many cool things. One of the highlights of our time in Kisumu was visiting a high school in the slums. The high school was considered one of the best in Kisumu. We were able to visit the high school twice – once with the Post Team and once with just the Mi2s and the Kisumu staff. Over the two times we visited we were all able to share a brief version of our testimonies and some things we have struggled with currently or in the past. It was so cool to see and hear their reactions. We spoke to a few students as we were leaving, and they told us that they were under the impression that white people never struggled. Obviously we struggle all the time. I was surprised by how well we could all relate to each other. Although we grew up very differently we all came together to sing songs, pray, and share stories.

Along with all the cool things we got to do in Kisumu, it was also a time of growing closer to God. Lately I have been praying for situations were I had to depend on God. He answered my prayers:) In Kisumu, I was thrown in countless situations where I was scared out of my mind and had to completely depend on God to help me out. Through these situations I feel like my faith has expanded and I am learning to trust God more. God continues to teach me and He is revealing more of Himself to me everyday. I stand in awe of how great our God is! Praise the Lord!!! ☺
