This trip was big. We saw a lot. We did a lot. It's too much for one update. It's too much for 100 updates.
We have 1,000's of incredible pictures and hours of high quality video thanks to my friend Jordan holding camera(s) for the entire trip. You'll be seeing plenty in the weeks to come.
My challenge for this update was, "Where to begin?"
(These are not stock photos, they are pictures Jordan took from our trip)
When we drove through the villages where we would be working during our time in Kenya, it immediately became evident that water, which is readily available for us, is worth it's weight in gold for them.
I can get my water however I want it. Sparkling. Still. Cold. Warm. Hot. From the tap. From a glass bottle. From the hose in the back yard. From the neighbors hose in his back yard. (Sorry, Ramses)
And I have an all-access pass, 24/7.
I mean it's 2025, doesn't everyone?
(I actually took this picture☝️ Take that, Jordan)
Yet, here the women spend their days, often with their kids in tow, walking however far it takes to get water for the day. And they get their water one way - muddy and infested and it makes them sick.
So, remember that well that we dug a few months back?
This is the tower from the well we dug along with my friend Max and 4 local pastors (and Pastor Jared's wife) who you'll hear plenty more about 👆
It now serve's 300+ families, a church and the church's daily feeding program for children in the village.
Women getting CLEAN water from the well at the church to take back home.
Okay now that you have a little bit more context, back to the goat pee.
Remember those 150 water filters we brought with us? Well when I preached at a high-school, I used a filter as a sermon illustration. For the dirty water, we gathered a pile of mud that curiously had goat droppings and goat tracks all around it. There was no good reason why water would have puddled up in that particular spot.
While I'm not professional tracker or biologist, I'm certain, it was pee. From a goat.
Here's the clip of Max and I drinking it.
