Day 4: God is at Work!

 Day 4 was a glorious day! We started the day with devotions once again lead by Jennifer and translated by the wonderful Dorcas.  We were encouraged with the truth that we are God's masterpieces, and that He takes our mistakes and weaves them into the beautiful picture that is our life.  Praise Him!

Following the devotional, Christian gave a presentation on women's health.  The ladies of Amani were so appreciative of her expertise (Christian is a registered nurse) that the Q&A session went over time!

After the women's health talk, the team broke for Chai Time out in the cafe.  During this session, Sharan shared about the Amani Ambassador program.  This program is a neat way to share the products of Amani to those in your circle of influence.  Once signed up, Amani sends a box of Amani made products to your home.  You would then invite friends and those interested to come and shop!  One box of products sold reprents 9 women who are fully supported for a month!  If you are interested in learning more about the Amani Ambassador program, please check out their website HERE.

For the second half of our day, we were blessed to spend time with two different schools.  First up was Center of Hope School in the Kibera slum.  This was the school Kaija and Jessi were able to visit yesterday.  We were treated to dances and songs and so many beautiful smiles!  The need of this slum school was so apparent and so great.  Please pray for Center of Hope school. Jesus, sustain the faculty and staff as they serve such impoverished children.  Provide for their every need Lord and may you place on our hearts our part, amen!

It was hard to leave those precious children but our next stop was wonderful in its own way--Project Elimu!  Project Elimu is an afterschool care program whose mission is to empower children through arts education.  We visited the end of one of their camps in which basketball drill challenges were conducted, dances were shown and certificates for the campers were presented.  The atmosphere was one of joy and FUN!  For more information on Project Elimu and there talented director, Mike Wamaya, you can visit their website: https://projectelimu.org/.

We are thankful for the time we had, however short, with these two schools.  We pray the Lord provides for their every need, and again, that He would show us our part.  Thank you for journeying with us via our picture summaries and through your prayers!  Please continue to pray as we look ahead to tomorrow's kids camp!  

Asante Sana!
