Kenya Missions Trip January 2017: Update #1
We arrived in Kenya last night. Today is our first full day in Kenya. We will be in Nairobi and will be going to see Pastor Timothy in the Kibera Slum (the world's largest slum in the smallest area, 1 million people in 1 square mile). We will be ministering at Timothy's school for the day to over 500 kids in an area smaller than a gym.
Tonight (Thursday), we fly to our Love For Kenya partner, Shangilia Orphanage, where we will spend the next 8 days. Thank you for your prayers!
Plymouth Covenant Church Mission Team
Kenya Missions Trip January 2017
Tomorrow, an amazing team of 9 from Plymouth Covenant Church will travel to Kenya, Africa, to the ministry of Love for Kenya!
God has amazing things in store for us. We have 5 main objectives on this trip:
1. Listening Prayer: We want to hear God’s voice and allow him to guide us on this trip.
2. Share our faith: Our desire is to share the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ with everyone we come in contact with.
3. Build meaningful relationships: Our desire is to build deep relationships with our Kenyan friends at Love For Kenya ministry and the surrounding community.
4. Meeting felt needs: We will be asking Jesus to give us wisdom as we meet very specific needs in peoples lives and the ministry of Love For Kenya.
5. Debrief and respond: Each day, our team will debrief and have an opportunity to talk about what God is doing in and through us, and respond to what we feel God is calling us to do.
We are in store for an adventure of a lifetime!
Please pray for the team of 9, including Randy Stensgard, Bob Paschke, Amanda Paschke, Randy Darling, Matt Mallas, Dave Gust, Conor Olstad, Dennis Huberty and Abigail Huberty.
We will be sharing regular updates from the team while they are in Kenya, so be sure to stay tuned here on the Love For Kenya blog!
May God bless everyone impacted by this mission trip, including the team of 9 from Plymouth Covenant Church, the children and staff at Shangilia Children's Home, the widows and their families, and members of the surrounding community.

Love For Kenya's Partner with Kibera Slums
Jambo! I'm Timothy Mulehi, the pastor of Calvary Evangelistic Church and School in the Kibera area of Nairobi. Kibera is the largest slum in Africa and houses more than one million people in roughly one square mile. In the midst of Kibera’s bleak and discouraging backdrop, my mission is to provide the message of God’s love and hope to the people of Kibera.

A Delightful Kick-Off
Chai tea, native Kenyan beats, laughter, pineapple, and wood statues of wild beasts. If you stumbled into the Littleton-based coffee house, Solid Grounds, you might have mistaken it for a scene in Kenya, despite there being no African people present. Today Love for Kenya had it's official non-profit status party with 30 or so friends in attendance who have been a part of the ministry and journeyed with us toward the founding of this organization.
Join Our Partnership
Exciting things are happening in Kenya and we want YOU to know about it. Love for Kenya partners with Kenyan leaders who are serving the widows, orphans and poorest members of their society. Ministries they are involved with include an orphanage, nearby schools, medical clinics, water projects, and outreach to the local community.
