Well, Adam and I have a opportunity to go to Kenya this summer with Global Impact, the ministry with whom we worship and align ourselves these days. One of my hopes before I'm 40 is to go overseas for kingdom purposes. So, I've been asking God if I am to go or not. Of course it is really up to Him to decide, but I have been blessed beyond measure from the land of Kenya. How?
I met Jennifer and Mwanghi Waithaka in 1996 at a prayer meeting at Pullman Fousquare Church where we quickly became kindred spirits. I had a car and was able to pick up and drop Jennifer off from our weekly prayer meetings. Jennifer must have had the gift of faith, or maybe it is the type of faith we all should all have; I learned that faith truly can move mountains. Yet Jennifer, my lovely friend from Kenya, died from cancer in 2006. Her youngest son was our ring bearer and she stood with us in prayer on wedding day as well. But I know God sent Jennifer to Pullman to plow in prayer. I am convinced her 4 AM prayer walks, weeks worth of fasting, holding Friday prayer at her home caused mountains to move in Pullman. Jennifer truly inspired me to war, to win and to love as an outgrowth of prayer. She led numerous people into the kingdom, she had her own businesses in order to be able to give into kingdom pursuits and she heard the voice of God.
So, I've always felt like since Kenya blessed this land, blessed Pullman, blessed me in deeply profound ways, that maybe God would give me a chance to give back to Kenya. So, I'm asking Jesus for direction, provision and eyes to see how to bless this beautiful nation. Kenya is forever in my haert. Jennifer, I look forward to seeing you some day, my sister!
