Give

Partner financially with this Kingdom work. Whether monthly, yearly, or as a one-time gift, your generosity reaches far beyond Kenya; it will impact lives across the world.

Kenya Mission

Karibuni

Great Rift Valley December 2017 – Kenya

Welcome to Mission to Kenya! Where faith meets action and stories come alive.

This site shares my journey of saying “YES” to God’s call. I serve communities in Kenya and Uganda, teach music to children, and use my photography to capture the beauty, resilience, and hope of the nations. Here, you’ll also find reflections, mission updates, and ways to connect with the heart of this work.

 In December 2017, I embarked on a 12-day mission trip to Kenya and Uganda with Diversified Ministry for Cultural Exchange Inc. (DM4CE) in partnership with Operation International Gift of Knowledge (Uganda). Consequently, what began as a holiday outreach to local communities, churches, and children’s homes soon evolved into a life-changing encounter with God’s purpose. Guided by countless moments where the Lord ordered my steps, I returned home with a clear vision: to prepare for a solo mission in 2018 to Happy Life Children’s Home in Juja Farm, Kenya.

During my 2018 mission, I stayed for almost three months and built deeper connections with the people, culture, and community. I taught music and dance to children and supported the community through technology and general support aids. Along the way, I documented the journey through photography, capturing moments, faces, and faith that still inspire this mission today.

Join the Journey
You are welcome to enjoy my blog, browse the photo stories, and explore the resources available on this site. The mission continues, and my goal is to return to Kenya to complete the work God began.

Donate Today

I am so excited about the opportunity to serve and minister abroad. At this time, I am seeking your financial support and prayers for my next mission trip in the summer of 2026. The trip is being funded entirely through donations and by myself. If you are able to assist with this trip, please use the following avenues of support below. Through the support of mission trips like this one, and your donation, I am able to reach those who God places in my path while there. I believe that even the smallest donations will help me reach my goal!

GENERAL EXPENSES

The areas of focus are Transportation, Lodging, Meals, Medical, Music, and Insurance. There is a lot that needs to be taken care before traveling in addition to making sure I have all of the necessary equipment and music to teach while there. If you want to just be a blessing in my life as I prepare for this journey, please use the options below.

IN-KIND DONATIONS

If you are in the local 757 area Hampton Roads or in the local 804 Richmond/Henrico/Chesterfield area and would like to give an in-kind donation, please contact me directly so we discuss the needed items and arrange a pick up or delivery. I want to be a blessing to them and arrive with supplies to help aid the children's home.
