Plans in Motion

I don't want to go one more day...without Your all-consuming passion inside of
me. I don't want to spend my whole life asking, "What if I had given
everything...instead of going through the motions?" -Matthew West

After much prayer and communication with Shawn and Linda Tyler, we feel that God is calling us to work at the Kitale Church of Christ Children's Home and Bahati Primary School in Kitale, Kenya. Our hope is to leave by summer of 2010. We are in the process of outlining our mission plan, learning Swahili, and fund-raising.
We kicked off our official fund-raising efforts with a garage sale last weekend. We raised $2200, enough for at least one more plane ticket! Even more importantly, the sale was a huge success in helping us to begin the process of "letting go" of all the STUFF that has tied us to our comfortable lives here in the United States. It also raised awareness among friends and family members of our intent to move to Kenya. The support and encouragement we received throughout the process of collecting donations, organizing, pricing, setting up, selling, and cleaning up the aftermath was overwhelming and humbling. THANK YOU to all who participated!
