We have come in contact with injustice in many ways though. Whether it is the high drinking rate, or how common it is for husbands to beat their wives and go to witchdoctors, or the apathy about a relationship with Christ in Kenya, all of it is disturbing in many ways.

 Despite those factors about life here in Kenya, I see great hope for the country. We have come in contact with great men and women of God. People like our contact, Bishop Bisuru, or a pastor in a mud hut with a tin roof, or a widow in the market selling oranges, I see people with deeply rooted faith in Jesus. I'm confident that it will be people like them that will make a difference in Mpeketoni. 

If someone asked me if this month was worth it, I would ask what he or she was trying to get out of it. If someone just wants a normal mission trip, only serving other people for a month, I would say nope, this isn't for you. If someone was looking for an opportunity to work on their heart for a month, receiving encouragement and challenges from a community of believers, with ministry on the side, then yes, this experience has most definitely been worth it. I have been tested and stripped away of the characteristics of my heart that are not of Christ. It's been a challenge, but it's been the most productive time I've had with the Lord in a long, long time. 

Thanks AIM for the opportunity; it's been awesome.
