I am sitting here on my veranda outside of my hotel in Kisumu, Kenya. Even though the context around me has changed, the truth within remains the same.  Being in Africa, especially rural Africa, is literally like being in a different world and can be shocking if you’re not used to it.

Jer. 32:41, “ I will rejoice over them to do them good and will faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart and with all My soul.” Ps. 138:7-8, “7, Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies,

John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. 1Th. 5:24 Faithful is he that calls you, who also will do it. When you become a Christian your life is baptized, immersed, into His life and His story is still being

Eph. 1:18,  I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance
