Once you get a taste of walking in your divine purpose, you will not settle for mediocrity. A lot of the trivial arguments and vindictive antics that used to emotionally drive your thoughts and actions, start to disappear. You start to not entertain it. And Why? Because it does not produce anything good. It is … Continue Reading

1 September 2018: The Journey
I pray that my journey in Kenya was more than just an inspiration to you all. I pray that it has encouraged you to know that God can use you right where you are and with what you have. What seems small and weak in the eyes of others, is mighty in strength and faith … Continue Reading

8 August 2018 – O Give Thanks
It was on August 29. The final term was back in session, and there were a couple of classes I had not visited. I made it a point to visit this and other classes so they could experience music in a formal setting. As simple as it may be, teaching them O Give Thanks from … Continue Reading

10 July 2018: A Moment of Reflection
I came to Kenya by faith. I knew that I had to be here but the scope of the purpose was not clear until I got here. You can’t walk in faith and expect to know what to do next. You have to be in the environment of the need to make a difference. I … Continue Reading
