Open Arms Outreach

We have been very busy preparing for the Open Arms International (OAI) outreach that starts today. The team from the US & UK will arrive in Eldoret early tonight. Our Kenya staff will be setting up the tents and registering the patients for the medical clinics at the Kambi Teso slum on the outskirts of Eldoret before picking up the team at the airport. We will take the team to the Open Arms Village for dinner with the house parents, their assistants, and 25 children who are living there.

It will be a very busy week with medical clinics, children's ministry (similar to VBS), feeding program, women's prison ministry, sharing the good news of the gospel, and lots of prayer. I love OAI outreaches! I've done seven of them since 2005. It is always amazing to witness the many miracles that God does for the patients and team members.

I will be staying with the team at the Sirikwa Hotel for the next eight days. Internet access is not good at the hotel, so I may not be able to post a blog for several days.

Please pray for the people of Kenya and our mission team during this really important week of ministry. It can be the most important week of their lives!

  1. Hey, sounds like everything is going so well for you, praise God!

    Will be anxious to to hear your report after the medical clinics.

    Had a call from Nancy Jo last week and it was great to hear her voice. She sends her greetings, and sounds good.

    God bless.

    Gloria
