I can't believe I was able to get on-line!!! We are all doing great, The Lord is moving mountains for us. All of our bags arrived safely. After a passport snafu we were praying hard that Sarah C. would be able to meet up with us in Kenya and she is here safe and sound. The most beautiful moment I have see so fart was the moment that sweet little Timo saw his BFF David Howard. I know that we are all God's children and that every child at House of Hope have been blessed to have Margret for the amazing mom that she is. What I witnessed to day was a union that God has created, David and Timo are Spiritually Father and son. I believe that this is a special appointment that only be revealed When God chooses I feel that will be in heaven. Just Like Jesse said last year "I always wondered why I didn't have kids, then I came to House of Hope and realized I've always children I just had to come to HOH to find them.
These Children are truly angels on earth, they were born into dangerous filthy situations and as Our Lord always does he waits until the perfect time and the child moves into HOH and their lives changes for ever, the live that God has planned for them begins the day they walk through the doors of House of Hope
Father God , I come to you not on my knees for I am dancing in your glory, praising you for simply being My Lord and Savior. I do ask for special blessing for the team, for safety, that well all stay healthy.
In Him, Amen
Smile God Loves YOU!

Kenya Eve
It was the night before Christmas and all through house not a creature was stirring.......$^^$W&YU%RT$@WQU^&NB
I'm sorry I got caught up in Christmas eve thing where everything is calm and quite and sweet! Well the excitement for Kenya eve is the same as Christmas eve but it sounds a little more like this........
Honey where are my socks, I thought I packed them......Yes you did but your feet stink so I unpacked them so I could wash them.
I feel pretty sure that most of our families are packing the last few things that can be forced into a suit case somewhere.
I also feel that without a doubt there are alot of nervous mom's ,dad's. and kids. When God calls out of our comfort zone it is never easy. the fear of the unknown is truly the fear of nothing. FEAR stands for
False Evidence Appearing Real. Please keep this in mind as we make the final preparations.
We Got This.! God Got This! I will see you in the morning!
Smile God Loves YOU!

Pray Warriors!
I know as we get closer to our departure date, the enemy gets madder and madder! Last night my dryer went out Ugh! I do not have the time or the money to deal with this right now! I got mad and yelled "You Stupid satan get out!" I am sure you know what happens next..... THE DRYER IS WORKING! Praise God for the simple things, He is even taking care of my silly dryer. The enemy will try everything to stop us, but by The Grace of God we will complete our Mission!
Father God, Thank you so much for watching over the simple things, like my dryer. Please wrap your arms around us as we make the final preparations for the Mission you have called us to. In Jesus name we REBUKE the enemy and his attempts to destroy us. Lord we put on the Armor of God and have faith that we will be protected from anything that does not come from You Our Lord!
In His name,
Amen
Smile God Loves YOU!

5 Days & Counting!
Is it really Friday? Only 5 days! I went to wally world today to get a few things for the trip, shampoo, deodorant and band-aids, but I have to say the most important thing on my list was TRAIL MIX! Got to have my nuts and chocolate! Eva sent out an email today with a few last minute tidbits of info for the mission team. The info that I want to mention is that our sweet Roy Newberry will not be going with us this year. ;( Please keep Roy and Pam in your prayers.
Most of you know that tonight is the last night for Summer Kids Club at Gateway, it has been an amazing week! Watching God move in the hearts of children and adults is an awe inspiring sight! I Praise God for everyone that works so hard to make this week possible!
If anyone has any questions feel free to post them on the blog so we can help each other out! Eva has a lot on her plate and she is only one woman, an amazing woman no less, and we are 39 people trying to get all of our last minute questions answered. So let's try to help her out a little. Thank you so much for your help and consideration, :) Also don't forget to wear you black Starfish shirts to BOTH SERVICES ON SUNDAY! Randy will be calling the mission team up front so the church can pray us out!
See you soon!
Smile God Loves YOU!

The Countdown!
It is hard to believe that we leave for Kenya in 10 short days! (For those of us that will be helping out for Summer Kids Club, 10 extremely short days) I guess I have officially lost my mind because I volunteered to do this blog!
I am hoping to keep family and friends up to date on how we as a team are doing and most importantly to share what God is doing through us! Please feel free to share this blog with whomever you wish!
For those of you who have stumbled upon this blog by accident here is some background info.....
Starfish Kenya is a mission that started in 2001, rescuing the children of Nairobi who have lost their parents to AIDS and HIV one child at a time! Here is a link to the website http://www.starfishkenya.com/
Please keep the mission team in your prayers.
Dear Lord, We come to You on our knees rejoicing that You have chosen us to go to Kenya and work with your children. Lord we pray for safety as we travel, wisdom as we teach and discernment as we listen! In Your Son's Holy name, Amen
Smile God Loves YOU!
