Daraja Alumni Leadership Retreat!

Last week was the Daraja Alumni Retreat in Kenya… one of the highlights of my year! For the next few days, I’d love to share with you updates on the Daraja Choir alumni and all that God did on the Alumni retreat…

The theme of this year’s retreat was “God as our Father”. We really felt like there was beginning to be a big disconnect between the children’s identity in their earthly father and their understanding of who God is as their heavenly Father. We took a team of 21 people from the U.S. and worked together to create a curriculum for the coming year that reinforced the ideas that we covered on the retreat. It was amazing to see all of the Daraja alumni interact and study the Word together…

A Note from Our Founder

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.
