Ebenezer Guest House 21 August, 2025, 01:18 pm

We left Nairobi at 8 AM on Sunday and arrived in Laisamis for the night around 6:30 PM. We stayed the night and left for Korr at 9 AM. It rain unexpectedly last night and again today. When we turned onto the road, heading to core there was no more tarmac. We ended up getting stuck in a very wet spot, but after digging out in front of the tires and placing some plants around the tires, we were able to get out. We are now at the Ebeneezer Guest House in Korr. We each have our own hut on a concrete pad. They’re very basic with the exception of having solar power in them. They are built of sticks and mud, and the inside is lined with cloth. It is amazing you much cooler it is inside than outside. If you look on their Facebook page, you can see a tour of the houses that we are staying in. The video tour has a caption which reads “Live organic. Sleep organic. You will be fine. “ we will be meeting with the team leaders this afternoon, and we will get some information about the clinics, which start tomorrow morning. The team is all doing well just a little tired from all the travel. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers.

Nomadic School 20 August, 2025, 11:27 am

Today, we traveled about 6 miles to hold a clinic in Nomadic School. Interestingly enough, we held a clinic in that same school back in 2019. There were 182 people served today, and 31 pairs of reading glasses were distributed. It is always interesting and a blessing to talk with the people of the area and get their “take” on things. The Rendille who live in this area are very accustomed to having not enough water( and what water they are able to get is salty), limited food supplies, poor “road” conditions, rain only 2 times per year, MANY poisonous snakes, deadly scorpions, pharmacies with no medications, no grass- just desert sand and rocks, and the shade trees that do exist are covered with large thorns. I was talking with the local translator at the glasses station, and he sad that with all of the things that I listed, there was a reason he was grateful to live here. He told me he had traveled to many other villages- places where they didn’t have to travel for water, where they could grow things, and yet in those places, people worried because someone would steal from them or bother them or kill them. But here, he said, he lives in peace. He said that here, people don’t steal from you; here, you can walk anywhere without fear. So even though life is hard, he has peace. And when the peace comes from knowing Christ as your Savior, how much deeper that peace is. As you look at the pictures, notice the smiles on the faces of people who received reading glasses and can now see the numbers on their phone, or look at a picture of animals and be able to identify them. Notice the smiles on the faces of the “team on the ground” here, as they were given a soccer ball to use in their ministry with the kids. It amazes me how God often uses the simple things to accomplish His plan. We do a great job of complicating it. Over and over people here are talking about how much the “small” things mean in the lives of others. Perhaps we can all learn from that?

Day 1 Ballah 19 August, 2025, 01:24 pm

Day 1 of the Medical Camp in Korr went well. It was a slow day, yet 103 people in the village of Ballah were treated, and 24 of them received reading glasses.We had rain today, which may have contributed in part to the low number of people. The majority of the people who came were older people and children. We did not have a high number of young adults. It’s always interesting to see the traditional tribal dress and learn of their cultural customs. When you see a woman in the pictures with a single strand of red and white beads, and a gold ring attached to her beaded headpiece, that signifies that she is married. One interesting thing we saw today, was a young deaf man who came to the glasses station. It was so unexpected to be in the desert and see the translator communicate with him using sign language. The team here was able to identify 3 people that will potentially be facilitators in having Bible studies started in the village. When I came to Korr for the first time, in 2019, to do a medical camp, it was a new area of ministry for Lifeway. At the time, there were only 4 leaders working here, and now there are at least 12. This medical camp is an encouragement for the leaders here, and their goal is to find more people to help bring the gospel to this area. Korr is a large area, and the villages can be many miles apart. At times, the roads are not good,so getting to villages can be very challenging or impossible. But the leaders here will do whatever they can to make sure that people get to hear about the love of Christ and the salvation He offers them. Your prayers and many methods of support for this ministry and those who participate make you just as much a part of this project as if you were here yourselves. So thank you.

Medical Project in Korr, Kenya 16 August, 2025, 04:41 pm

The medical team has arrived in Nairobi, and we have sorted and packed the medications and glasses to take to Korr for our 5 days of clinics.
We will be leaving on Sunday morning at 8 AM Kenya time. We will travel most of the day to get to Laisamis, where we will spend the night. Then, on Monday morning, we will continue the rest of the way- across the desert “road” to Korr. Joining me on this project are Emily Wilkinson from Rhode Island, and Graham and Jill Morrison from Scotland. We would appreciate your prayers for safety traveling, health, stamina, and unified team. We so appreciate the Lifeway team for welcoming us to join them, and for all the preparation they have done behind the scenes to make the medical camp possible.
