Wow, been a while since I posted on here. Since it's been so long I think an update on both what I've been doing and where I am going from here is in order. 

Our family arrives back in California on November 4th, actually only four of us do, the other six will arrive on the 5th. Once in the US our family is there to stay! Sort of. 

In January (I'm super excited to announce this) I'll be going to a six month Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Discipleship Training School (DTS) called "Voice for the Voiceless". The focus of this school is documentary filmmaking and showing the plight of those who otherwise wouldn't be heard. 
Three months are spent in Kona (really tough, I know) and the other three months are spent putting everything I've learned to use. I'm really excited to see what this has in store for me and all the possibilities for God's work. 

I'll get back in late June, but then it's off to college that fall for me! Still praying on where the Lord would have me go, but I know it's all in His hand. 

Enough of the future, what have I been up to? 

Other than helping out at Agape with work projects, loving the kids, and Saturday morning bible study and activities, I am also tutoring some of the kids from a local international school. The most recent "trip" I went on was down to Agape's Farm, the vocational training center. 

It teaches three different professions: carpentry, masonry, and mechanics, in addition to farming skills.

Plus it's right on the shore of Lake Victoria and has amazing sunsets. 


In addition to all of that, I've been working on a promotional video for an organization based outside of Kisumu. It's a great ministry with lots of different areas it works in. I'll be sure and post the finished video when it's ready.
Overall it's going well here and I am thankful for all that I have, seen and learned. 

In Christ,
Nick
 
Well a lot has happened since my last blog post. Actually, a lot has happened in the past week. A week ago we were dropped off at the SF airport to begin this new journey. But now, it seems that we've been here for more than 5 days. Here are some of the highlights!

Agape Children's Ministry, the reason we came to Kenya.
We went to the Agape campus on Wednesday, and for most of our family it was our first time experiencing it. The boys living on the campus are fun to play with, even though most of the boys are visiting relatives for Christmas. I'll post some photos below.
