Jumbo! Greetings from Kenya!


Johanna Akerlund, Fanny Snellman, Anna-li Snellman, and I have been here for just a week now and it has been a great time! We have been working in the public schools as well as with the children here at Pastor Timothy’s home. Here are some pictures of the girls at work during the last week:

Fanny teaching the story of the Good Samaritan with the help of Johanna and Anna-li. We taught in this school for two days. It is one of two public schools in the village where we are staying.

Johanna playing football (soccer) with the kids. The girls donated the football to the orphanage. A few days later the kids were using it as a volleyball, so it’s become quite a versatile ball!

Anna-li and Fanny with Andy and Linea the puppets. The kids LOVED the puppets, though they felt a lot better about them after one by asked, “Are those dolls really talking or what’s happening?!” and Anna-li showed them how it worked.

Johanna teaching the story of Jesus feeding the 5000 in another primary school. This public school is in a near-by village. Both of the schools are sponsored by Pastor Timothy’s ministry.

We all helped the kids with the corn harvest on Saturday. Here is Anna-li, Fanny, and Pastor Timothy’s youngest daughter, Karen.

We will continue to a new area tomorrow with Pastor Timothy, then three days later to a different part of Kenya. We will be here for a total of six weeks.  Please pray as we continue to serve in this beautiful country!
