Anticipation

Technically Africa is my 'homeland'. I was born in Malawi, and lived there until the age of three. We went back for a brief visit in 2003, and ever since it's been on my heart to return to that part of the world. So heading to Kenya excites me! Although it's a different country, I feel in some ways that I'm heading back to my roots.

I'm looking forward to seeing and learning from what God is doing there, and to meeting and getting to know the Kenyan people. I have a heart for children and young people, and work as a youth pastor here in Auckland. The one thing I am most looking forward to is the opportunity of working with the Kenyan youth and children.

I'm a little apprehensive about the unknown and being in new & unfamiliar situations...but I know that in all things God goes before us, he is with us and will equip us for whatever we face. Can't wait to see what he does in and through us while we are on this trip.

3 weeks to go!
