Philippians 4:6-7
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”All of us worry about some things. We worry about the health and welfare of our own families as well as those of the orphans and widows, but God says don’t worry. Pray. Pray to God and be thankful that God has a plan for all of us and trust in God’s plan.

Mark 10:45
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.A ransom is the price paid for someone’s release. The price Christ paid for our redemption was his death on the cross. To pass on that knowledge is why we are working in Kenya. Thank you Jesus, for showing us how to serve others and for loving us.
