Launch Party

Yesterday, George and I went to Kakamega to attend the launch of Trinity Fellowship's Kakamega branch. Last month, George attended a meeting where the vision, mission and action plans were decided. Although this branch has been in existence for a while - it has been re-vamped and wanted to celebrate a start of a new era.

The launch ceremony was really special. They had students from various schools perform as well as speeches from special speakers.





As an associate, George had a chance to address the crowd.



The main speaker, Paul, did an amazing job.



One of the verses he read was Psalm 126:5.6

Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy. They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest.


He talked about the work being hard at times, but the Lord will bring rejoicing in the end. He had us act out a five step process (which is what I am doing out in the picture.)

1. Go
2. Weep
3. Sow
4. Reap
5. Rejoice



(Hey Traci - here is a pregnancy photo for you. Since I already have a belly, I don't look different yet! But here I am at almost 15 weeks.)

During the meeting, the leadership team shared the vision for this next year and shared what has been done so far. Last month, they were able to visit 50 schools and received a letter from the Minister of Education granting them permission to work in all the schools in Kakamega County. Next up is a camp for elementary and high school kids in April. George and I won't be able to go, but we encouraged all the kids to go. The meeting was great and I am so glad we were able to go. God is going to do amazing things through this ministry.

On our way home, George and I received an unexpected blessing. Paul, the main speaker, had driven to Kakamega and would be driving through Kisumu on his way home. He was able to take us with him. We took a matatu on the way there and was so happy to ride in a car on the way back. Instead of two hours, it only took one hour. Thanks Paul!
