Kenya Is Calling...

In Matthew 25:40 we learn that Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, just as you have done it to one of the least who are members of my family, you have done it to me.”

During our Kenya mission trip we will live those words as we visit abandon HIV/AIDS children at New Life Homes and The Ark, the youngsters at St. Phillips School and Renguti Elementary School, and the heroic medical staff at Tumutumu Hospital. Additionally, we’ll visit Kazuri Beads and Amani ya Juu where disadvantaged women are creating beautiful products which transcend ethnic differences.

Covenant’s heritage is social awareness and activism; whether in Haiti, Mexico, Appalachia or Highland Academy. This trip will help reaffirm our past and define our future, who we are and whose we are. Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.

  3. I just found my first comment, mistakenly posted on the Itinerary page under "mommy," but just to make sure Kim Barnhardt gets this particular message, I'm saying it again, where I can make sure EVERYONE sees it.
    HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY TOMORROW, APRIL 20, 2009, FROM SISTER AND FAMILY IN ATLANTA! (Kim, What a fun way and rewarding place to get old!)
    God Bless You All, and Please Make Sure Kim REMEMBERS that it is her birthday and that she is joining the "50's rank."
    I know this is a special time for Kim because she is doing one of the things that most fulfills her life... serving God and others.
    God Bless You All and those you are graciously serving.
    Prayers For You, Your Safety, and Your Mission.
    Love, Sister Malia
