Week #2 - Thursday
Today was a very full day in Kenya.
Bret & Liz started the morning at Fiwagoh
doing some painting on the first level platform of the playground,
and planning for tomorrow.
Getting a full coat of paint on the first floor.
Yes, BLUE.... Pastor Benson's favorite color
plus a local business donated 200 gallons they couldn't use anymore...
so blue it will be!
The peanut gallery . . .
Look's to me like they are up to 'something'!
Then they headed to Haven of Hope to meet Nelly
and see her home where over 30 infant-Kindergarten age children live.

Part of our team is planning on spending a good amount of time at Nelly's
rocking, feeding, playing and loving on all these little ones.
There are also plans for us to PAINT several rooms of her house,
including one of the 'little ones' rooms and add some wall murals.
Bret & Liz were able to meet Nelly for just a short amount of time as she was heading out the door to the doctor's. Nelly is pregnant, due the end of August, and has been on bed-rest the past week due to pre-term labor. The doctor sent her directly to the hospital, and I learned this evening that Nelly had a baby boy in the middle of the night (Kenyan time) weighing in at 3.9lbs. He is in an incubator doing well and mommy is exhausted after 9 hours of labor with NO pain medication.
Please PRAY for Nelly, this precious new life,
and all the little lives who call Nelly - "Momma".
Pray that God will use our team to minister to Nelly
and Haven of Hope at such a time as this.
A time where we can step in the gap
and fill a need for a Momma who GIVES...
200% of herself to all of these children who have no one else.
Please also PRAY for the final preparations for the rest of our team as we depart very early Sunday morning to join Bret & Liz in Kenya.
The enemy is always at work to distract, discourage,
and frustrate when we are 'on-mission' to be His hands and feet to orphans.
Pray His FAVOR on our Team... that we see MORE of HIM and LESS of ourselves.
