Thirteen Ordinary People Went to Kenya

I love the story in Acts 4 about how the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit and then experienced life changing power in their lives. It was so obvious that other people saw it. Acts 4:13 says "When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus."

Thirteen ordinary people went to Kenya this summer with courage and direction supplied by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Like Peter and John, we found ourselves unable to not speak about Jesus. (Acts 4:20) No matter how unschooled and ordinary we looked, I pray that  they knew we had been with Jesus!

Meet our team!

Angela, a mom who looked like the "pied piper" as she imitated animals with the children.

John, a grandaddy who opened his arms to a yard full of orphans starved for affection.

Mitch and Cheryl, a couple who made so many children happy just by taking their picture.

Wynn, a lawyer, who jumped at the chance to speak to a group of Kenyan lawyers.

Patty, who had been corresponding with an orphan in Kenya for years finally got to meet her.

Billy, a layman, who preached with conviction.

Joy, a divorcee, who learned that God's gifts and His call are irrevocable. (Romans 11:29)

David, a brand new believer who took the words of Jesus seriously when He said "go and make disciples of all nations." (Matthew 28:19)

Bryan, a young dad who shared his gift of music with children who will teach other children.

Bob and Suzi were our leaders and the only professionals. They were career missionaries in Japan for years but just can't seem to retire those missionary passports!

And me, the most ordinary of all.

If God can use me, just think what He could do with you!
