Jambo!

Jambo is the greeting we heard most often in Kenya. It means hello in Swahili. This picture is of the airport. When we first arrived at the airport, I remember thinking that it was dirty. When we left after spending 2 weeks in Kenya, it was so exciting to be in the airport because it was so clean. What a difference 2 weeks makes!



One of my first experiences with a Kenyan was speaking with one of the men helping with baggage claim. He asked what we were the for, so I told him we were doing an AIDS mission project. He misunderstood what we were doing and thought we were doing HIV/AIDS testing. He held out his arm to me and asked if I would test him then. He then proceeded to tell me of the many friends and family of his who have died from AIDS. It was truly a wake-up call to me of the need for this ministry God had sent us to carry out.

Please pray: for the people of Kenya living with HIV/AIDS, the threat of HIV/AIDS, and those taking care of family members and friends with HIV/AIDS.
