For the last few years, our family has been involved with supporting Dr. Jim and Kathy White through World Medical Missions in their annual trips to Kijabi, Kenya to perform surgeries on children with cleft palates and cleft lips. Up until now, our involvement has been limited to raising money and supplies. We created awareness of the need in our local home school group which in turn has raised financial support, clothes, and toys over the past couple of years. This year our home school group will be working on “pillowcase” dresses for the Kenya girls and collecting soccer shirts for the boys, along with collecting money and other supplies for Kijabi school children.
The Whites have asked us to join them on their next mission trip to Kenya in February 2011. Over the years, Jim and Kathy White have shown the love of Jesus Christ through their time and efforts performing hundreds of surgeries, touching many lives with physical healing and spreading the great news of the Gospel at every opportunity. Michael and I will be working on outreach and Bible study. We have faithfully committed to this opportunity knowing that God has purposed this in our lives. Please pray for guidance as we prepare to go.
