We spent today at Fountain of Hope Church in Nairobi. We had the privilege of serving 60-75 kids in the from the community that come to the church every Saturday for food, fun, dancing, singing, playing soccer, and a short teaching time by the children’s pastor, Samuel.

We also got to meet Antone & Doreen, the house parents in the Fountain of Life Church home. They have a 4 month old, Nathaniel, and 12 orphans girls from the community that live with them in the new church home. We were able to pray for Doreen as she is sick with Malaria – as I put my hand on her shoulder I felt the fever through her shirt. Pray for her as she battles this illness, and tries to still be a mom to 13 kids.

Later we walked the 5-10 minutes to the slum behind the church and had a chance to see “Mamma” Betty, a woman from the church that lives there and has a school and pre-school – 80 kids in 2 adjoining rooms that are about 10×12. The church supports her and one of the pastors, goes in to help teach the children a couple days a week. We also got to meet a couple of the HIV+ orphans in the slum that the church is supporting by providing food and medical assistance to the children and their extended families that have taken them in.

Tomorrow we head back to Fountain of Hope Church for a full day of worship and spending time with the staff and the children.
