“Deciding to stay longer than the normal 2 week trip was possibly the best decision I’ve made. Being submerged in a culture different than your own, away from distractions, and in deep community, for an entire month creates a space to become undone. My month in Kenya was one of undoing, undoing my perspective of who I was, who God is, and what Kenya would become to me. A month allows you to truly experience life in Kenya, the daily in out tasks, like hand washing all of your laundry or cooking in the kitchen, but more than that it truly allows you to be in a place to see people consistently and create strong lasting relationships. It allows you to live life among fellow believers, Kenyan and American alike, getting to know and love them for who Christ made them to be. Those relationships for me led to getting invited into a friend’s home to learn how to make chapati, falling in love with a sweet girl who I now sponsor, and so much more. You’ll experience Kenya for what it truly is, settle into what becomes home, create lasting bonds, and come to know the Father in a new way!”
