As many of you know Ben and I are trying to take a trip to Africa next summer, we are going to serve and kind of get our feet wet before we move over there in a few years.
The organization that we are trying to contact right now is in Kenya, it is called AH-GAH-PAY Mercy Children's Center. It is a grass roots orphanage that needs a lot of help with a lot of things. Right now this orphanage is renting a building and they have a massive waiting list of kids who need a place to go. We have not heard from the organization yet but we would be so blessed to go over there and help.
If you want to check out the website or help their cause it is www.amcckneya.org
We are so excited for this opportunity and while we are not looking forward to paying for it or getting the shots we feel so called to go and serve and learn.
