Run for Orphans!

Last year our friends and partners at Choose to Invest hosted an event called Run for Orphans in Alpharetta, GA. The 2012 event was a huge success and had over 350 participants. Choose to Invest is hosting their 2nd Annual Run for Orphans, 5K and Fun Run/Walk in Alpharetta, GA on February 16, 2013. The funds raised at this event will benefit two of Choose to Invest’s projects. One of those projects is Rejoice Project, which takes place in The 410 Bridge communities. The funds will help Choose to Invest launch into new communities and hire Community Project Coordinators. Run for Orphans is a family friendly event that will be full of health, happiness, and fun. This event will also educate all participants and spectators about life in Kenya.

We hope that you will join us in helping make this an event a success for Choose to Invest. You can participate by running, walking, or volunteering. You can help recruit others as well! If you visit www.irunfororphans.org and click “recruit” you will find Facebook profile pictures, Facebook cover photos, Instagram pictures, and Twitter pictures.

Serving with Joy: A Week in Mutirithia, Kenya

If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Kenya, allow me to do my best to try to put into words what an incredible life-changing experience that you really need to do at least once in your life. 

I was recently blessed to travel to Mutirithia, Kenya with an amazing group of 20 other Christian men to serve the families in that community over the course of a week. 

We prepared for weeks to make sure everyone understood the primary objective of the trip, which was to build upon relationships already formed in the community and to spread the Word to as many people as we could. 

Allow me to unfold a day-by-day glimpse of what we experienced:
