Compassion Kenya - 4

Sorry it's taken me so long to get this post up about the trip. The last few days of the trip were a whirlwind, and I never had the time (or the internet) to get this up.

The last day we spent with the LDPs we...
-Went to church
-the preacher had tons of scripture memorized, tons
-there were evidential only two settings on the sound board in the church: "off" and "very loud"
-Visited the home of one of the LDP students
-Went to the University of Nairobi

4th type of Poverty: Spiritual Poverty
Spiritual poverty is the lack of hope, the hope that is found in Jesus. The moment you realized that you are beautifully and wonderfully made by an eternal creator who loves you is the moment your world changes. Spiritual poverty convinces people that they are worthless, and if there is a creator, He could care less about you. At the core of Compassion is the key stat that every single child WILL hear the gospel of Jesus. And the gospel of Jesus is the foundation of all transformation. On Christ the solid rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand.


Here's the LDPs. These guys are the real deal Holyfield. Their lives are incredible stories of transformation.
