WHAT ARE WE GOING TO BE DOING IN KENYA & HOW CAN YOU HELP?

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO IN KENYA?

In Kenya we plan to serve the community and local church in 7 areas:

1. Children's programs - teaching biblical truths & God's unconditional love through songs, games and children's activities both in schools and in the local church. Similar to Bolivia, Kenya has a very young population and loads of CHILDREN!
   


2. Ministering to HIV/AIDS patients - praying for and loving on adults, young people, children & babies with the AIDS virus spreading rampantly across the African continent.
   


3. Art & Culture - using Bolivian music, dance, native dress to communicate the redemptive plan of Christ wherever we are welcomed
   


4. Basic Health Care - we will have a licensed nurse and a dentist; and plan to bring basic medical supplies to Kenya to attend to basic health needs of the people in the community
   


5. Youth Outreach - plan to organize events to inspire and challenge the youth of Kenya, emphasizing biblical truths in practical areas such as intimacy with God, HIV/AIDS prevention, servant-leadership, stewardship ...
   


6. Sports Ministry - will partner with the local church to put together a city-wide sports tournament (of mainly soccer, with possibly other disciplines) to encourage team building, encouragement, affirmation & strengthen relationships between young believers and non-believers
   


7. Community Service - plan to bless the community with our sweat and hard work. Cleaning up open areas & soccer areas, light maintenance at local schools ... whatever needs to be done

HOW ARE WE RAISING FUNDS?

The team has been hard at work, involved in a number of endeavors to raise funds for the Africa trip.

• We have been selling t-shirts for the trip to promote and raise funds
  
• Organized a soccer tournament with several different churches from around the city
  
• We have made and sold food on several occassions at church for Sunday lunch.
  
• Have also held movie nights once a month at the church selling tickets and popcorn
  
• Set up a store at the compassion center to sell snacks and school supplies to the compassion kids.
  
• Promoting the trip in other churches here in Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
