Mathare....."Break my heart for what breaks yours" (Hosanna)

There have been many blogs from our team describing the impact of our visit to the Mathare slum. We have included a pictorial in hopes that it might show more clearly the conditions in the slums. It still cannot replicate the foul aroma, or the feeling of walking through the slum, but hopefully you might get a glimpse of the heartbreak that we felt......









































It was very emotional processing the experience today. Please pray for the many people living in these very challenging conditions and please continue to pray for our team as God continues to open our eyes and hearts.....


1 John 3:16-18

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but actions and in truth.
Love in Christ, Dan & Cindy

    Hi, I am Erika's sister, I read the blog everyday and I just wanted to tell you the pictures are beautifully heartbreaking if that makes since. You are taking pictures of what is a reality in Kenya and it takes my breath away, I cried looking at them. Thank you & keeping you all in my prayers.
