Life when you come home is never the same and it shouldn’t be. Everyone coming back will have different take a ways. We have just spent the last two weeks serving and giving to people who don’t have as much as we brought in our suitcase but they gave more joy and blessings to us then we could ever give to them! It’s overwhelming to see their living conditions, life style, heath conditions and culture differences but then to try and put all that into words for people is almost impossible. My challenge is for you today is to not ask people “how was your trip” but ask them one of these questions: What was a defining moment for you on your trip? What impacted you the most? How will your life be different because of your time in Kenya?</p><p> 650 children, 50 staff, and a couple of pastors whose lives will never be the same because of people of Fox River Christian Church giving their time, talent, and resources. These people will never be the same just like the team will never be the same! The people in our centers and churches in Kenya say “Asante Sana” (thank you very much) because they don’t know where they would be without Fox River, but we in return say that we don’t know where we would be without them. God tells us to go into the entire world and preach the gospel but that would not be possible without a partnership like this and it takes all of us serving one God in the ways He has blessed us with to make a lasting impact. Impacting a generation most of us will never get to see the full fruits of but by faith we give in hopes that the next generations after us will continue doing the same! Asante

Please Keep all of the team and I in your prayers. This week is going to be hard for us, its a lot of asking whats next and seeking after God because He is the only way we are going to be able to make it through all the things we are feeling. For me personally the transition is harder then I thought it would be, I have a lot of work to do and am leaving for Nicaragua in 19 days with our teens and am running SummerXP in less then two weeks now. My heart is still hurting for work that still needs to be done in Kenya, friends I left and not knowing when I will get to go back. If you would pray for peace that God will help me to keep looking for His plan in the midst of all that is going on. Its in His timing not mine…He brought me out to bring me in! I will have to tell you about that story later.
