140: Serving in Northern Kenya - A Calling Story (with Wangui Maina)
How does an Internet search lead to missions work? What is it like to provide literacy training amongst nomadic communities? Hear from Wang?i Maina about her experiences following the Lord to multiple different countries and what it’s like to serve now in Northern Kenya.
- “I felt the Lord say, ‘Forget all of the things you’re trying to figure out. Just trust Me and go.’”
- “Northern Kenya in 2024, still has the highest illiteracy rates in the whole of East Africa.”
- “One of the greatest impacts that I have seen is seeing children who were not interested in school because of the cultural practices that prevail in these communities take up an interest in going to school and staying in school.”
- “Where Christ is preached fearlessly, transformation happens.”
- “Whatever negativity or whatever darkness, it can’t come against the light.”
- “People think God’s calling is some big voice up in the air or you’ll hear some booming, but it’s those impressions that the Lord puts in our hearts.”
- “Start your day with the Lord; it really makes a difference.”
