Kenya June 7-18, 2009
Yeah! After two years of trying to go to Mbita, Kenya to visit Christ Gift Academy, it looks like that dream is finally going to come true. Christ Gift Academy is a school for orphaned children of aids. One of their parents or both have died usually due to aids and quite often the children have aids as well. The boy I have supported the past 2 years – William, thankfully, does not have aids and I will finally get to meet him. I am going with the team from Seacoast Church to serve the widows and young women in the surrounding communities. We will also have the opportunity to spend some time with the children and teachers from the school. Feed the Children donated 180 new crocks we will be able to give to the 150 widows we will be ministering to. Our presence makes a huge impact on the local churches/missionaries we are serving alongside. We hope to reach the young women and widows and instill values in them that will change their generation to live a life free from sexual immorality and embrace one that is full of hope for the future when they put their faith and trust in God instead of men who give them empty promises. It is the same message I share here in the states and see lives changed. Now it is time for me to take this message to Kenya and I hope you will join me.
We are a team of 8 women (two teens) serving as missionaries for 10 days. We need your support and prayers and I especially want you to be with us in prayer starting today as you read this blog. People have asked why not just send them the $3000 instead of making such a hard journey. I have seen what miracles take place when you go to the mission field. People want to hear and see what the Americans have to say even if it is just so they can get the free gifts we bring. The shoes & food will meet a physical need and our hope is to touch their heart and meet their spiritual needs as we share our faith. It is one way of how we fulfill the scripture in Mark 16:15 to go into all the world and proclaim the good news to all creation.
I am blessed to have all of you in my life and I appreciate you taking this journey with me. Please pray for the hearts of the people to be ready for the hope we have to offer them. Pray for all our team to collect all the donations needed to make the trip. Pray for the leaders we will be serving alongside that God will bless all their preparations for our visit. Pray for safety in travel and for our health.
Blessing to all,
Roz Page

Today is the first day of my fast. I realized this morning in prayer that I had forgotten how to worship in my own prayer closest. Worship - as in adoring and appreciating my Lord. I wanted to sing a song but the only song that came to my mind was one we downloaded last night with a catchy tune that kept going through my mind. I know what this fast is about for me personally and it is to ignite my personal devotional time with the Lord. "My" personal time with him...not my husbands. I need to come up with a way that I am not so uptight about letting loose in my time with the Lord while hubby is still downstairs reading, praying or having his breakfast. I need the words to songs in front of me to help me get started and I need to focus on scripture such as Psalms. I love my Prov31 devotional readings from the web and I think I will also use the one Greg posted on his blog in the evenings. So, this fast is about worship for me. Although I think about God everyday and offer prayers and thanksgiving to him throughout a given day, I have somehow neglected to bend the knee just to worship him on a daily basis. What is up with that?
So, the question in today's devotion that I could not answer was this:
If time, money or "reputation" were not an issue, what kinds of things would you want to do?
What would I do if TIME, MONEY, or REPUTATION were not an issue? Why can't I answer this question? I always run out time to do my exercises and give devotions the time HE deserves. If money were not an issue, we would live in a modest home on the water with plenty of room to have our family and friends for cookouts. Reputation! I have no idea how to answer this one. I don't think I have any desires that my reputation would keep me from doing. But on the other hand maybe I do. I have recently been on 2 mission trips and I loved the experience on both. I plan to go to Kenya this summer to minister to the widows and be an encouragement to them and the local church. I think my extended family does not understand this passion of mine to serve people in other countries. But now that I have been and seen that they make our poor in this country look rich, I am determined to go help spread the gospel, help them grow spiritually and physically as often as the Lord will allow me to go.
