You are such a blessing and I am glad you follow your heart and do the things you do. I am so ready to go back to Kenya. My husband and I are praying and know we will go, we are just not sure when.

| 25th December 2008 Jen | Asante sana! - From: Three Turkeys, a Goat and Ole Saint Nick Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing so much laughter and brightness to Kenya! We will miss you and pray you come back soon! |
| 3rd December 2008 Dennis | under His wings - From: My Home Away From Home Hey Jeremy, Nelson said, "But through God’s love, I am safe and sound under his wings." Check out Malachi 4:2. Then the story of the woman who sought to touch the hem of Jesus garment in Luke 8:43-47. The word of Wing and Hem in Hebrew is the same 'kanaph'. This is a messianic prophecy in Mal 4:2 fulfilled in Luke's story about this woman. Then Nelson, you and me and all who believe are benefactors. Praying for you brother. In Christ Dennis |

I'm sure you will have some travel withdrawls, so just lock yourself in your room until you're ready to get out! Haha... I would love to sit down and pick your brain about your travels. I'm ready to walk away and experience life, myself. Are you sure you're not up for another jaunt around the world? :-) Tam should be home in about three weeks or so to surprise mom for her birthday (shhhhhh...don't tell Momma Lou!). I'm sure you two will find some time to meet up. Thanks for all the awesome pictures from your travels! |

| 9th May 2008 Sam | Check ebay - From: Footsteps in the Promised Land I'll bet you anything they did not destroy your knives. The woman you took a picture of probably has them in her house or is trying to hock them on Ebay. |
| 21st April 2008 Chad | - From: Footsteps in the Promised Land That cop manhandled you didn't she - that look is of a woman who just finished putting a middle eastern smack down on a stubborn westerner...

| 17th April 2008 Trish Czichos | Thanks - From: A Scattered Heart Jeremy, I met you at the Nairobi airport when our small group arrived the day election returns were announced in Kenya. We visited with you briefly again as we were going back to the States when Daniel picked you up at the airport after your Mt. Kilimanjaro climb. Thank you so much for your blog about your time at Into Abba's Arms. Because we know the children there and the workers, because we were there at the beginning of the trouble, and because we also scattered parts of our hearts there, your words and photos were especially meaningful. Donna tells me how much you helped. Your presence gave another male role model, another night watchman, and especially a "fun" big brother. I love your descriptions of the games and "moves" that you shared with the children. They need levity so much in the tense times. I am so proud of our kids. Now I can add you to our "kid" list. Enjoy Egypt. Trish Czichos |

| 2nd April 2008 Annette | Thank you Jeremy! - From: A Scattered Heart Jeremy- I am balling my eyes out right now...I long to be in Kenya again. I am going later this year, but it is not soon enough. Your journal has helped me to remember the people, the conditions, the children and I am so greatful for your openness and details. You are an amazing young man whom I am so glad I got to meet last June. You need to extend your world travels to the great state of TEXAS and come see us soon!! My heart is forever connected to the people and children of Kenya and to you and all the wonderful team members that go to the world and not only speak the Gospel, but BECOME the gospel with their lives! Be Blessed- hope to see you soon. Love you- Ms Annette |

| 13th March 2008 Pury | Thankyou - From: Life's Defining Moments Jeremy, am a Kenyan living in Kenya. I read your story and am so touched. You have taught me the power of prayer, the power of believing in oneself. I have met so many challenges in my life......but am glad that i have gotten an inspiration. I will keep on following your story. May God bless you |
| 1st March 2008 Janis Adair | I miss the kids and Kenya - From: Within the eyes of a child... Jeremy, I am not sure if you remember me, I was on the last trip with Jane when the violence started. I usually kinda stand back ,so you may not remember. ANYWAY, I have missed the kids and their smiles since I have been home. Being that we had to stay in one spot this trip I got to know the children well , and fell in love with each and every one. Please tell them all that Auntie Janis misses them and I WILL BE BACK !! I will try to help Nelson with his mission to help the people of his country .. I will send money straight to IAA and designate it for that. I am so glad you are there, the boys need a good roll model and sounds like you are the guy. God bless you and your love for the kids. I pray daily for them and the country, I will add you to the list, wrestling can get tortuous !! Tell Moses I am glad his face is healing well and I wish I were there to help him get well, your doing a good job though. If the wounds are not too deep it will not scar. Also, my heart goes out to George, I fell in my heart he sicker than it seems, please keep a good eye on him, ( silly to ask, I know you do)I mainly wanted to let you know that I and the last team there have been praying none stop for y'all. The kids are etched into our hearts and there is no better feeling getting a note from one of them telling you they love you. I pray as we go , we can do the best for them and in the long run help the country. Sorry this is so long, but I just have so much built up inside that I had to tell someone of my strong feelings for the kids at IAA and all of Kenya. Please try to keep in touch, Janis |
| 28th February 2008 Karen Gourley | thanks for sharing - From: Life's Defining Moments Jeremy, I'm a bit behind on reading all of these, but I just wanted to say, that you are infact, stirring people's hearts. Thanks. |
| 8th February 2008 Bodega Bruce | Carefull - From: In a Time of Blood and Tears Be carefull out there, brother. It ain't like taking a dip in the hot springs in Xela. |
| 8th February 2008 Dennis McCutcheon | praying - From: In a Time of Blood and Tears Hey brother, Because of the subject matter this is your most moving entry yet. Know that we are praying for you and other friends in country. Pat Barnett is second or third generation missionary at Eldama Ravine. Her family has a history in that region and suspect that you could find her if she is close. They are having same difficulties you are and see the effect of the Hand of the Same God that is covering you. No need to reply. Know that I continue to pray as specifically as information comes in. Concerned about new worse outbreak if results of talks breaks down. Be as careful as you can... In Christ Dennis McCutcheon. |
| 5th February 2008 Annette | THank you Jeremy!!! - From: Within the eyes of a child... Mama Annette here. I cannot tell you how much this blog and these pics helped me!!! I have been praying for IAA and the kids and for you since Dec 28th- and longing to be there!!! To see the kids---and especially my Kennedy smiling and having fun with you....well, lets just say, my heart feels better knowing that they have the comfort of having a strong man with them during all of the mess going on---Jeremy- you have to know that it is totally God that you are there right now!!! Give them all a big kiss and hug for me and tell them that Mama Annette loves them with all my heart---and I too will be coming back as soon as I can!!! love ya- annette |
| 5th February 2008 Penny | Kenya - From: Within the eyes of a child... Jeremy, my heart is yearning to be back there. Reading this entry about the kiddos makes me smile and cry all at the same time. I miss them so much and think of them all daily. Please give them my love and give them BIG hugs from Auntie Penny. Tell Ann and Daniel, Donna, Kristine and all of the others hello for me. I love them so much. I want to be right where you are! Take care and keep them all safe. I can't wait til your next entry. I am praying for all of you and know God's mighty hand is upon you. No weapon formed against you can prosper in Jesus name. Take care....Penny |
| 4th February 2008 Zac | Keyan children relive my childhood, God save them. - From: Within the eyes of a child... It breaks my heart, what these children must have had to endure and suffer through....with you there. You have probably created a lasting custom of "the monster" and "the powerbomb" that Keyan children a hundred years in the future will have to endure from their parents who learned it from their great grandparents who learned it from you. You are Legend. Just kidding, I'm sure you've brighted the lives of these children to a degree that will last with them for the rest of their lives. Keep it up and stay safe. |
| 30th January 2008 margaret crews | book suggestion - From: Life's Defining Moments Leave it to an English teacher to suggest a book, huh. You would enjoy reading The Grand Weaver by Ravi Zacharais. So much of what you wrote reminds me of its ideas David and Jay Ayliffe's mom |
| 30th January 2008 Christy | We are so proud of you - From: Life's Defining Moments E and I are so proud of you. I also cried when i read this story. It is amazing how much, and how little, we all know about each other and about ourselves. God keep you and bless you. Please tell me if there is anything we can send to you or to those children in Kenya. ~Christy |
| 30th January 2008 Wag | - From: Life's Defining Moments You keep getting better man, your writing has become such a source of inspiration in a uniquely subtle and attractive way. It is so cool to see the creativity of God and how He chooses to carry out His will. I will never get tired of hearing or reading this story. We are praying for you and the people of Kenya. |
| 30th January 2008 Teddy | Hermano - From: Life's Defining Moments You mentioned how relationships are the true measure of a person’s wealth. Jeremias, your a rich dude and a dear friend. Your courage moves people. Thank you for sharing "the experience." |
| 29th January 2008 David Ayliffe | Soli Deo gloria - From: Life's Defining Moments ! |
| 29th January 2008 Annette | Amazing - From: Life's Defining Moments Jeremy- Ms Annette here- I was there as you shared before that crowd in the middle of the corn fields- and what you did not know at that time was your testimony could have been coming from one of my kids- their father, like yours, was called of God in his younger years and then feel into drug abuse- that overtook him and our family- thank you for sharing your life- I am so proud of you- and i am fasting and praying constantly for Kenya and IAA- I am so glad that you are with them- you bring the children comfort and security. thank you for obeying God- I love you- Annette |
| 29th January 2008 Mark Wininger | - From: Life's Defining Moments Glad to hear you have found what you were looking for. |
| 29th January 2008 Penny | WOW - From: Life's Defining Moments Jeremy, I sit here in tears as I read this. I am so glad you have shared this with the world. You are such an awesome man of God. I know you are there in Kenya and I know it is not by accident you are there now with all of the turmoil going on. God has His mighty hand upon you and His plan for you is so GREAT! I am so proud of you and how far you have came just since I have known you. Keep serving God with all of your heart and never be ashamed of who you are or where you came from. Thank you for serving Him and IAA in the way you do. You are right where I want to be, in Kenya being a support to the workers and children. Please give all of them my love and give them a BIG HUG for me. I am praying for all of you daily and "NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU SHALL PROSPER IN JESUS NAME". Keep doing what you are doing and being the person you are and always follow God's lead. I can hardly wait to see where he takes you next. God bless you Jeremy. Your sister in Christ...Penny |
| 11th January 2008 David Ayliffe | All I can say is, Dang! - From: Eyes Over Africa Those are some breathtaking pictures of Kilimanjaro. Have fun and be careful in Kenya; you'll be in our prayers. |
| 8th January 2008 Zac | Dream of Africanization - From: Eyes Over Africa We're so glad you're safe (Blood Diamond kept coming to mind; like Di Caprio, only smaller) and congrats on the ascent, quite the achievement. Tell the locals I said "Click, click,.....click," they'll know what I mean. Be safe getting to the orphanage, you'll be in our prayers, and email whenever you can. |
| 8th January 2008 Wag | WOW - From: Eyes Over Africa I am no longer worthy to discuss my outdoor adventures around you - Congrats on the summit that is really awesome. We have been praying for your safety after hearing about the unrest in Kenya, glad you are keeping a low profile in Tanzania. We wish you the best in Kenya with the kids. Stay healthy. -Wag and fam |
| 8th January 2008 mark wininger | - From: Eyes Over Africa Looks beautiful there. Congrats!! on your kili climb |
| 8th January 2008 Dennis McCutcheon | How is your pointed little head? - From: Eyes Over Africa Hey bro, How is your head? Everything ok I take it. Exciting travels you are having. Keep those cards and letters (blog) coming. Sincerely Dennis McC My email will change in a couple of weeks...adm1228@helpsinternationalministries.org |
| 30th December 2007 Zac | Merry Christmas - From: Beneath a Falling Sky We all missed you this year and we pray that you had a merry Christmas. However, with you not there, I got double presents (sweet). Mount Kilaminjaro, that's nothing, I hiked House Mountain, the smallest mountain around. Once again, everything sounds wonderful from over there. Can't wait to hear from you again. By the way, I got Kim an engagement ring. Have a happy new year, brother. |
| 28th December 2007 Teddy | Intenso - From: Beneath a Falling Sky I see the size a those camels! Wish I was your right hand man out there exploring those lands. Wish you good health and much peace this new year! You've got skills Jeremias. Teddy |
| 28th December 2007 Penny | WOW - From: Beneath a Falling Sky Jeremy....What a trip you have had. Such memories you will hold with you forever. Enjoy your time at IAA and please tell Jen, Christina, Ann and everyone else there hello for me and I hope I will be able to get there soon. My heart longs to be there. Give each child a hug and kiss for me. Take care and great to hear from you. I pray for you daily and know God's hand is upon you. Your friend, Penny |
| 13th December 2007 Wag | - From: Warning...we have sensory overload!!! Wow, India sounds intense. I would also struggle with all those people trying to scam you all the time - it is understandable that you lost your cool a bit, I probably would have as well. Just think if you would have been exposed to that back in our college years, there would have likely been an international crisis severing ties between the US and India.... The pics of the Taj were really cool, do they allow photos of the inside? I want to see what makes it one of the seven wonders. By the way, nice shirt and pants. Take care brother. |
| 13th December 2007 WazzaSof | Beautiful - From: Warning...we have sensory overload!!! I love your pictures Curl - a real inspiration! I had a few run-ins with those langur monkeys in India - they're no joke. I imagine you heard about that Delhi politico getting killed by a pack of them recently. Anyway, stay safe and keep the blogs coming. |
| 12th December 2007 Autumn Lane | Hi! - From: Warning...we have sensory overload!!! Jeremy, I love your side herkey!! Have a Merry Christmas and talk to you soon! Autumn |
