This past trip to Kenya, Jessi and I got to spend the last few days of our trip with Bishop Matolo of the CEC.  I’ve just recently gotten to open those photos up and look through them (wedding season + working at the church in NYC has really slowed me down this summer).  Here’s a screen shot of some of what is coming up soon.  The stuff is looking great and the story is awesome…a church thriving in the heart of Kenya with some really wonderful support from the States!  More on it soon…here’s a teaser and a reminder…we’re still here and we’re still telling stories…stay tuned!

It’s countdown time…we’re getting ready to head back to Kenya to complete our project with the fine folks at the KIINI Sustainable Initiative. This is a project that we’ve been gearing up to do for the past year and a half, and I know that everyone at KIINI is just as excited as we are. In honor of the project finally getting off the ground I want to share with you just one piece of what we’re working on for KIINI here so far. One of our friends and very talented designer Wes Morris volunteered to help design the new and improved KIINI logo for us. When I traveled to Nyeri to meet with KIINI late last year we discussed what they wanted in a logo. They said community, and giving back were very important to them. That the purpose of what they were doing was very much about strengthening the community, and that they knew that if they, members of the community, didn’t help, then no one would. Here’s the logo that Wes came up with. We LOVED it and the guys at KIINI LOVED it even more…can’t wait to see this logo become part of the bigger picture that we’re about to begin work on!

Stay tuned for more updates from the KIINI project and some other Bedouins news along the way!
