Kenya 2019

                                Kenya October 2019

Some of the Shining Star School students and teachers

My Kenya trip was long overdue and so eventful but completely gratifying and productive.
I traveled alone this time but was met by my precious Kenyan sister Stella at the airport and traveled to her home for the night.
Within 24 hours we were on the road traveling and I don't think I stopped till I boarded the plane to London 3 weeks later.

Traveling to Shining Star we had two flat tires on the rental car and had to literally follow a roller (large equipment) who just appeared when we got to a road that was impassable; and we stayed sliding in his tracks for about 2 miles to our next turn off.
So many slides into ditches, car quitting, flat tires, driving through water we could not tell the deepness, watching smoke come up from under the car as it the water hit the engine. Running into two fence post and a barbed wire fence, stuck in mud in Nairobi Game park where my driver had to get out in lion and rhino area and I drove as he pushed to get us out!
Just a few of the memories...
While I'll never forget these memories, they can now be smiled at, and the remainder of the trip was full of loving memories that were very special.


Children at Shining Star were excited to see "Mom Debbi" and I was happy to see them.

While there we taught several services as well as started the well dig at the home. I was able to see in person the new fence enclosure, meet some new employees and bless the children with much love and gifts.

Shining Star's partner school is now at 225 children and they too were excited to see their American Mom. We had a fun time with a professional photographer taking their pictures. They felt so special and you could tell this would be a time they would never forget.

We need more classrooms, a playground (my desire as they have only a backyard swingset with two swing now). The principal showed me the area he wanted the playground on and it is a large area as they have plenty of land but just need the equipment.

Many projects coming up and I believe you will find it in your heart to help with some of these projects. You can give online on send checks to ministry address.

While there and ministering at Prayer Mt in Kerocha Kenya, I started a widow's ministry or have in my heart to. I funded a luncheon after speaking at meeting a couple times and we blessed around 50 ladies and gave their children gifts and all had soda (which is a BIG treat to them) I wanted them to feel special. Its sad it takes so little to do that but it is never done.

SO future, I want to fund these ladies' children to attend school as

do not, only because they cannot afford the uniform (20.00).  I also want to equip these women and get the ones that are living on the street in homes and help them.  They are one of the most neglected after the children as they are considered unworthy, used and not qualified Many have been abused and their self image is very poor. I want them to know God loves them and they are special, and important.

I am excited about this next venture!
So while I still love with all my heart and miss my honey who moved to heaven; I have determined to go on and be better, do greater and go further than I ever have before.

Thank you for all who are behind me in prayer and finances and for those who are yet to get on board.
Now is the time to help!
Thank you and God BLESS!
I am attaching a few pictures; more to come as my photographer is working on a video for me.
