Our Kenya Country Director, Andrew Guuru, was in Atlanta the last couple of weeks for staff meetings and some strategic planning. Before leaving on his trip to the US, Andrew told Kurt that he would like to get a tattoo while he was in the US. So, last week we took Andrew to get his tattoo. He got a Kenyan Shield tattooed on his forearm. Although painful, Andrew stayed strong saying, “It is not painful enough to make me cry!”. Check out the video below of Andrew getting tattooed.
A Note from Our Founder
February 11, 2025
If we’ve spent any time together, you’ve probably heard me this before: pay attention to who walks through the front door.
That was some early advice from my friend, Lanny, and it held the test of time. It’s important to keep a lookout for people suddenly crossing your path – God just might be introducing you to someone special. So, when Chris Joiner walked through our front door, I paid attention.
In 2021, Chris reached out just to have a conversation. Over a few breakfasts, Chris and I discussed our shared passion for changing the way the West church engages the poor. At the time, Chris was working for another non-profit organization, but it quickly became clear that we both sought to create a lasting, meaningful impact on the lives of the poor.
