2014 Mission trip #1
2014 Mission Trip #2
Some of us have been called to support PCH with our offerings and others have been privileged to visit Kenya to work and bond with our girls. I feel God called me to go to Kenya on a mission trip. What a joy and blessing it has been!
There currently are 42 girls . The first time I visited there were under 20. The love and patience of the house mothers and social workers in the homes is to be admired; they give up much of their personal time to guide and nurture these children.
When were are in Kenya, at Providence Children’s Home we played with the girls, lead Bible lessons and took them on field trips. One trip I especially remember was taking the children to a department store to buy bathing suits.
A local hotel had given permission for the girls to swim in their pool. The littler ones had never seen an escalator before and had to be coaxed or held to get them upstairs where the bathing suits were. I think some of the girls had never had a bathing suit before this. I remember the fun watching them pick out their own suits and trying them on. When the clerks saw how many girls we had, they brought more suits out of the storeroom! No one seemed to mind the chattering and confusion we created. Some of the younger girls wanted their picture taken beside the mannequins. Others, very carefully, stretched their legs over a small bicycle and walked it around while I watched. I don’t think the house mothers would have approved!
We returned to the houses with a busload of happy, singing girls. I loved to hear their lovely voices singing praise songs; some we knew and some that were Kenyan. When we arrived home, we received many hugs and an abundance of “Thank You’s”.
This is just one of the many memories I have of PCH. I need to tell you that their education is very important to the staff there and the children study diligently and learn what they need to go out into the Kenyan population. A couple of the girls are now nurses. One of our girls scored so high on her tests that she was given a scholarship to an esteemed private school .
The work being done at PCH is truly God’s work and the children who live there are being given one of the greatest gifts, hope for a brighter future!
