Imagine faithfully saying 'yes' to God knowing that it means leaving affluence and moving to a stench-ridden slum with over 300,000 people! That's what Nairobi natives Dr. David and Ann Kitonga did. It's hard to describe the deplorable stench and condition of Kawangware slum: garbage, sewage, and filth - everywhere. The Kitonga's are truly a light in the darkness of despair and hopelessness. David and Ann have a heart for the poor and are making a difference in the Kawangware slum. Global Outreach Development has supported their ministry work in Nairobi, Kenya for 3 years. The Kitonga's provide job training to adults so they can feed their families and they feed and educate over 700 children. While the children learn to read and write, they also learn that God loves and cares for them. The Kawangware slum of Nairobi, Kenya is also where your team can partner with the Kitonga's in helping the 300,000 people living everyday in this slum. The people you will meet will challenge you and your team to be more giving, more loving, more caring, and more generous with the resources God has blessed you with. They will teach you to notice others, to see their need, to realize that everyone has a story, and that a little kindness goes a long way. Don't miss this opportunity to be privileged to have had your heart touched by the people of a far away place called Africa, where life is hard, often very short, and seemingly hopeless. It is a place where God is very much at work. Of course you have questions. And for many of those questions the answers are only a click away.
