Jambo!
Our day began with a celebration from the Mission of Hope Children. We were greeted by hundreds of smiling faces who sang songs, quoted scripture verses, and performed traditional tribal dances for our team. Each of the Mission of Hope schools was represented by groups of children who had been practicing all week for this occasion. What a joy it was to be the recipients of such warm and welcoming hearts. It was especially gratifying to watch the small children of the new Mathare 2 school perform today. They sang songs they they had just learned in the past few days from our team members who so faithfully worked with them during VBS. 
Late in the afternoon, we visited a village market to do some local shopping and returned to the Grace House. We had some time to reflect on the day as well as the things God accomplished this week. Children were loved, many came to Christ, and seeds were planted. We feel humbled to be part of God's great work in this place.
We'll be back in touch tomorrow. Have a blessed weekend!
Asante
