When I first came to Kenya in 1993 I worked with refugees in a little self-help ministry called Hope Craft. Today I help with our international students that are on scholarship at Daystar. Some of them are refugees and some are here by themselves on a student visa; also away from home and family.
Regardless of the circumstances, I find myself drawn to the needs of those that are away from their own cultures. Maybe for the simple reason, I am too. I recently read an article that tells about an African refugee far from home and family. I wanted to share it here so that you can get a picture of what sometimes happens and how it feels.
About Me
- Jan
- An evangelical, believing Christian who cares deeply about God's children, therefore is working to help equip the future generations of Kenyans to address their own issues in a holistic way. By serving at a major Kenyan university I will be able to promote the kind of community development that makes sense in the changing climate of East Africa. I will to promote leadership that will make a very real difference as servant leaders and Bible believing Christians in a world that seems often to be struggling for survival in these hard global economic times and the wave of African corruption. This is strategic for reaching out to so many Kenyans in so many ways. This blog is about that life.
