Sunday in Kipkaren

Sunday in Kipkaren is a day full of magic and joy. We started the day walking to the clinic site and current Living Room site. They sadly suffered a loss as one of their residents passed..a beautiful woman whose last days on this earth were spent with people who care and love her.
Our 3 hours in church seemed like minutes. There was lots of singing and dancing, and the children were enchanting and full of praise and hope.
The sermon was focused on "how prepared are you"? Very fitting. I've never witnessed such intense praise in a humble church with dirt floors. I cried with joy for them..so much hope when they need so much.

After church we headed back to the project where we started the walkway for the residents. It was quick work with all the help. Even local community members walked over to see what was going on and picked up hoes to help. A late afternoon rainstorm sent us running and giggling.

It is truly a beautiful land with incredible people. It is an honor to be here and serve them.
