I used to be a child who learned from adults. Now, as an adult and I find myself learning from children. Most recently I learned a little bit about giving. Wait! Stop! Don't exit out! This isn't a fundraiser that's going to attempt to convince you into giving to 61, your church, or anything else - … Continue reading A Lesson From a Child
My Davion(s).
*If you haven't read the article on Davion, then you need to read it before you read this. Read it here. My heart breaks for the church. It crumbles when I read articles like the one on Davion. I can just feel the Father’s heart break. As you read the article, you hear a boy … Continue reading My Davion(s).
I am Afraid.
It's true. I'm afraid. I'm afraid of a lot of things really, such as spiders and the dark. But that's not what bothers me. What I'm really afraid of is turning 30 years old. It's not the age that gets me but the idea that I'm running out of time. It's somewhat of a wake … Continue reading I am Afraid.
I Had to Laugh…
About a month ago, we had about 45 Americans visiting with us to do ministry. It was a mixture of twenty-somethings along with their parents. It was such an amazing week seeing God move as two cultures crossed and God's family was united. Our outreach teams built a house for a single mother who's 50 … Continue reading I Had to Laugh…
The Reminder
The past few weeks have been wild... well, let me rephrase that. The past several months have been insane. The past few months have been full of transition. Physically, I've traveled to and from the U.S. where I was all over the place raising support, sleeping on couches and floors, and speaking at different churches … Continue reading The Reminder

As for me, life back in Kenya has been extremely busy with a super optimistic future ahead specifically … Continue reading 61project: We’re Back!
When the Holy Spirit Gets in the Way.
Jesus rocked at investing in people. I try so hard (sometimes) to be like him and do what he did, but people investing, well... sucks sometimes. People hurt. They’ll betray you (time and time again), they’ll take advantage of you, befriend you because of what you have to give, then leave you for dead. And … Continue reading When the Holy Spirit Gets in the Way.
Set a Fire.
I know that God is moving in Kenya. Why? Not a day goes by that I don’t get the chills that run down my arms and make me quiver. Today, I sat in our office who’s open door policy can sometimes be a little overwhelming, but today it was just... great. I was in the … Continue reading Set a Fire.
Jesus Juice.
Jesus Juice. Given the chance to rename the newest venture, that’s what I’d call it. It’s what it’s about, Jesus and Juice. Let me explain. This week I joined a friend of mine, Murathimi in starting Kijabe’s only juice shop, East Africa Juice Company. The Lord had given both of us the idea of juice … Continue reading Jesus Juice.
What if…
"Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself..." - Blue Like Jazz What if we really grasped how awesome, how powerful, how deep God's love is for us? I have been thinking a lot about God's love lately. He has been drawing me deeper into it, deeper into Himself. … Continue reading What if…
