Austin

I believe that a huge part of being the hands and feet of Jesus is building relationships with people, so I’m SO blessed to have an opportunity to go back to a place that holds a special place in my heart. The Lord cares so deeply for children, and I’m honored that he has chosen me for a time such as this to continue to love them and point them to Him. 

Jason

I chose to go to Kenya because the need to help others and step out of my comfort zone has been calling to me ever since I joined Lincoln Heights.

Gabby

I want to go to Kenya so I can see the kids experience everything that God has allowed me to experience. I want to worship Him with them, go to see His creation with them, and pray over them with the power of His spirit! What a blessing it would be for God to say yes and open the door for me to go. 

Logan

I originally wanted to go to Kenya so that I could gain a new perspective. Now that I have gone once before, I don’t want to lose my new perspective, and that’s why I want to go back.

Chloe

I want to fly to Kenya because I believe we are called to listen and obey God, especially when he tells us to get out of our comfort zone in order to further his kingdom. I’m excited to have an opportunity to live in obedience by being the hands and feet of Jesus to these people in a far away land. I know they will impact my life for the better by opening my eyes to their everyday reality and I hope I get the chance to impact their lives for the better through Christ Jesus!

Becca

After going to Kenya night, I was really inspired to go and be a part of showing these kids the love of God and help them grow in their faith, as well as grow in my own.

Josh

 I wish to pursue my passion of being a voice for the voiceless in a way that God has equipped me to do so. This opportunity allows me to see God working through the lives of His creation with a new lens and perspective. I appreciate all of your support and prayers!

Rachel

I was lost for most of my life before making the decision to follow Jesus. He has shown me that I am worthy and capable of all things through Him, and that is what I am hoping to share on our missions trip to Kenya.  Helping can take many forms, but spreading the joy and love of Christ with others is where I find happiness and hope..

Megan

I want to go back to Kenya to be immersed in, and be part of, the sense of community within Mathare Valley. I want to experience the joy of seeing the excitement on the children’s faces as they embark on a new experience. I want to be surrounded, again, by the love and faith that is spread across the people through Jesus.

Haley

I have never been on a missions trip before, but God has put it on my heart for this year to be my first one! I am excited to go with such a wonderful group of people, some of which  are my dad and sister. I have a passion for helping people, especially kids, and the idea of getting to help out all those kids in Kenya that we have been supporting sounds so much fun!

Chris

Missions holds a special place in my heart. I have been going on these trips ever since I was a youth pastor, back before I moved to Arizona, and I have loved every minute of every one! But this particular missions trip I already know will hold a special place in my heart because it will be the first one I get to go on with my two oldest daughters! Praise God!
