Hello!
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Anne
Varghese and this summer I will be serving along side CMF (Christian Missionary
Fellowship) in Kenya! This is my first ever attempt at blogging…so please bear
with me. I figured that if a dog on Disney channel could do it, so could I. My
hope is to use this blog to be able to keep all of you in the loop while
Bridgette (my teammate) and I are in Africa. I will try to update it once a
week when we have internet access. You might not be physically there with me
this summer but the love, prayers, and financial support that you all have
provided has facilitated for me to be where God has called my heart to serve. For
that I can't thank you all enough!!
A little of what we will be doing:
For 8 weeks
this summer, my teammate and I will work alongside Kenyan health professionals
to minister to the Maasai people in rural Kenya. We will join in an extensive
medical ministry that treats tropical diseases, immunizes children and combats
HIV/AIDS with testing, counseling, medical treatment and home-based care. We
will also seek to empower the nationals through Community Health Evangelism
(CHE). CHE is a program that seeks to transform the lives of individual’s
physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
I’m excited,
nervous, happy, and ready (once I finish packing) all at the same time. But most
of all I am at peace about this summer. I know Kenya is where God has called my
heart. Even though I might not know what to fully and completely expect when I
get there, I find rest in that I will be in the place where His will needs me
to be.
I am so incredibly thankful for all of the love and support that
everyone has given me this past semester. You all are the BOMB DOT COM and I
love you to pieces! Please continue to keep Bridgette, myself, and all the
other CMF interns in your prayers as we head to PDO (pre-departure orientation)
in Indianapolis this Thursday and then to the countries where we will be serving.
I will keep you all updated when I can but for now packing calls…
Much Love,
Anne
