As I’ve traveled over the past two years, I’ve left behind pieces of my heart scattered throughout the world. Families have opened their homes to me, countries have shared their culture, experiences have left a permanent mark, extreme poverty has opened my eyes, missionaries have inspired and strengthened my faith, travelers have given their friendships, civilian struggle and injustice has br...

Camp life

I can't get enough of these pictures

more homeless children

Twelve people sleep in this four man tent

At the Christ Covenant Centre in Nairobi the children sleep two to a bed from lack of space

This bunk bed pictured holds 6 girls...now that would be a tough nights sleep.

This pot of bean and corn mix feeds the 80 boarding students for lunch each and every day.

Poor Solomon...he's gotta lose the fro.

Thank you Jeremy!
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

Great Things Man
You are doing great things man. You are really making a difference. Stay safe and we look forward to hearing from you. One thing, your soccer skills have obviousley deteriorated. You are not playing against the Webb Spartans anymore. Love, The Yarbroughs

Thanks
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
