AFX TEAM 2 Update

Hey Everyone! We wanted to update you on how our first week in Kenya has been! We are staying at Sburu Masaai tribe homestead in Satiman, Kenya. Our tents are coming in very handy. The ministry we are a part of began yesterday and will last for two weeks. Our contact pastors set up four village visits for us, hoping that we can build relationships and bring more people to church and more importantly TO CHRIST. Also, we have been able to teach at the local primary school. God is definitely moving here and we are looking forward to sharing stories in the near future. Our move to Uganda will...

Kenya!

We have arrived! After 36 hours of travel we made it to Nanyuki, Kenya around 1:30 last night (Kenya time). Both African expeditions teams arrived safely, and thankfully no luggage was lost! We were greeted by pastor Samuel at the airport who then led us to two buses that took us from the airport in Nairobi to Nanyuki. When we arrived we were delightfully surprised to find dinner waiting on us.  A delicious meal of chipati(?), rice, fresh fruit, and mashed potatoes, talk about spoiled. The church we were staying at put us up in a room where we enjoyed a solid three hours of sleep. This...

We Have Arrived!!

Hey Family & Friends! We have safely arrived in Nanyuki, Kenya! After a long journey, we were greeted by smiling faces and a delicious meal, and then were able to catch up on some sleep! This morning we headed in to town to get some supplies for the next few weeks. We are going to be heading to our ministry locations in the bush! We will not have internet for the duration of our time in Kenya (about two and a half weeks), but rest assured, we are in GREAT hands! Please keep us in prayer! We're looking forward to sharing some stories in a few weeks! Love, Ashley 🙂

Rebekah.

Yesterday morning, my life was changed by a little girl named Rebekah. This week our team is working with a small church in Kampala, called Light Embassy Sanctuary. We have been going door-to-door, meeting people, praying for them, and sharing the gospel. After arriving Tuesday morning at the church, we split off into pairs, and each group with a translator. We then made the walk up towards the neighborhood we would walk through. My teammate Matt and I were paired with Pastor Love. After about half an hour, and our third “door”, we met a woman. She introduced herself as...

Realizing Real Love

What is love really? I thought I loved with my whole heart.  I thought I knew what love was. I thought wrong.   The Lord has placed on my heart recently that I can only love purely with his love.  That I can not love without loving him.  And I can not fully love Him without loving myself, who he created me to be. Woah.   I have always been really hard on myself.  I never felt like I fit in growing up.  I always beat myself up over my mistakes and I never let myself forget them.   But you know what? Gods love is so much stronger.  God...
