Thoughts about the awesome team

I am thinking about when we dropped everyone at the airport. I thought the team probably must be feeling relieved that the trip is finally over. I was surprised to see Heather's tears as we said good bye. It touched my heart! I was touched that you guys felt close to us and had been happy to have our friendships grow. I thank God. He was showing us that he cares and loves us by bringing us the Lighthouse team. I hope the team knows that they were God's vehicle. Thank you for being such a blessing to us!! We will forever love you guys!

Praise God. Amen. Praise God again. Amen. In church, I remember people repeating this phrase. I think....wow...he should be praised. We had so much fun serving with you all from the slum schools to an orphanage and anything in between. God handpicked you all. 13 individuals with wonderful hearts. Their sensitivity and vulnerability brought hope to everyone that they touched.

I think about how nothing is a coincidence. If the team hadn't come, the man at the rift valley lookout point might not had been saved. It was God's plan. If the team had never come, my kids would never had the chance to get up and lead worship with the rest of the team and perform some drama. They had never done that before. They were stretched but happy to serve. It touched my heart. It was God's plan.

My prayers were answered. I had prayed for the team...protection, for every detail to be worked out, for God to be seen, and lives to be changed. Thank you all for being such a blessing to our family. May God bless all of you. (Hopefully you all didn't feel too much jet leg.) I will continue to pray for all of you.

Love, Trisha

  1. Trisha, we were blessed to serve with your family. You and Mike were/are an inspiration and example of faith in action. Your children jumping in with the team was seamless, like they were very comfortable doing so, like they had done it a thousand times before. I enjoyed my time with each of you, and thank God for the opportunity. I understand better now how to pray for you. Thank you for all you did for us, and continue to do for Kenya. God bless you richly and deeply. Love, Anna.
