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…

Stay tuned! More to come tomorrow!

New Year: Next Level Ministry

January 28, 2025

A New Year frequently evokes a multitude of emotions, deeply influenced by various reasons based on the season of life one is at. For many, it symbolizes a rejuvenating fresh start—a precious opportunity to release the burdens of the past and embrace the future brimming with hope. This transition evokes excitement, particularly for school-age children returning to the classroom after a long break from school in November and December here in Kenya. While children are thrilled to reunite with their classmates and dive back into the classroom environment, they may also grapple with a sense of déjà vu; the inevitability of returning to homework, assignments, and the pressure of upcoming exams can cast a shadow over their eagerness for new beginnings.
