Below is an update from Sharon Roelke, who is currently in Kenya with Bridges International.
Jambo! Thank you all for praying, I can really see and feel your prayers. After team meetings the last two nights we were really able to come together as a team. The weather has even cooled a little. We helped do some light construction on a church, visited a babies' home this morning, a Methodist ministry here and a Catholic childrens home this afternoon that had over 600 children. The number of orphans can be overwhelming. Our time with the babies and children was just holding and playing with them and saying prayers over them. I think we were able to bless and encourage some of the church members with ...

Hello from Cape Town!
I'll be brief here, because we're at the home of some good friends, having a "critter braai" (a big, multi-part barbecue. We just had the first round of meat, which was smoked crocodile.) We just got access to internet for the first time, and saw how much everyone else has kept in touch this week, and wanted to say hello!
It has been a great week. We are really winding up here, even though we won't be home for another two days!
We have been able to visit a lot of different ministries while we've been here, mostly around the Cape Town area. We visited a preschool and day care center called God's Little Lighthouse, did a Bible lesson and craft, and played with the kids for a while. We also visited Miemie's ...

Here are some prayer requests submitted by Russ Wise for our Missions Potluck in March:

God guided every part of me going on this trip to Africa. Everything from my summer school starting no later than a day after I got back to the fact that our entire group never got in one quarrel. Not to mention I didn't even bump my head once! After some experiences I have had on mission trips, this was such a blessing. I will never be the same because of my trip to Kenya. One day we visited an orphanage that took in kids that are anywhere from newborns to three years old. While we were there it was hard to grasp the fact that they had no parents. I'm so used to seeing babies with the parents running behind them. It wasn't until I came home and read this verse that it really hit me:Ecclesiastes 4:1Again I looked and saw all the ...
