Goodbye Cairo, Hello Nairobi
Well, Stephen’s 2 weeks in Cairo are up, and now he’s spending the next week with some friends in Kenya before flying back to the States. He is there taking the pretty pictures for some wonderful, beautiful people and getting the chance to meet up with Philip from KISI for a preliminary visit before we go do our project with him next year.
He is exhausted and busy, but I got a chance to chat with him earlier today and he told me a story I wanted to share with you. He had the opportunity to visit a small start up school for K-2nd graders with the wonderful Bishop Chunge. The kids swarmed around him as he took their pictures. The Bishop then asked Stephen to pray for the school and all of the kids and as he finished all of the children started clapping and laughing. As they were leaving, Stephen told the Bishop how much he had enjoyed their day at the school. The Bishop replied, “This is a day in their lives that they will never forget – the day that someone cared enough to come and take their pictures.” No one had ever done that before.
Needless to say, Stephen was floored and humbled by the fact that these kids were so grateful just to have their picture taken. This is why we do what we do!
Here is a screenshot and sneak peek of some of the photos Stephen took today. More pics coming soon!
