Where we've come and where we're going

Welcome (or welcome back!) to the Mission Korogocho blog. We're now just four days away from sending our next and largest ever team to Kenya, and can't wait to share our experiences with you via this blog. We hope you'll visit often, share your thoughts and comments with us, and forward this blog on to your friends so they can get excited about the work going on in Kenya!

A lot has happened since we first met Pastor Tom in April of 2010. God has blessed the work in Kenya through the support and involvement of hundreds of people throughout the US, and many teams from New Mexico and elsewhere have gone to Kenya to serve. Although we've retained the "Mission Korogocho" blog title, our partnership with Pastor Tom and his work in Kenya has now gone far beyond the Korogocho slum where we started. The work now reaches people throughout northern Nairobi, as well as the rural Siaya district in the Nyanza province in southwestern Kenya. We are also involved in more different kinds of ministry than ever before including child sponsorship, clean water access, evangelism, discipleship of church members and leaders, and so on. Check out the "About the Mission" tab to learn more about some of these ministries and the partners involved.

Over the next few days we will share more about the team, our goals for the trip, and prayer requests. We believe God has amazing things in store for this trip and for His work in Kenya as it moves forward, and look forward to sharing with you the stories of what He has done and the lives that have changed!
