Eight Count is sending 5 of our current members - Grace, Janette, Joseph, Tim, and Sharon - on a mission trip to Kenya. In a team of 11, we will be partnering with the Deliverance Church in Kawawa Sukari to host Vacation Bible School with the many orphaned children of the area. As well, we as Eight Count have a special mission while there, which is to use dance as a means of breaking down cultural barriers and reaching out to the children in the Mathare slums and in a rural village called Murang'a. We want these children to know that they are loved, even by strangers like us, and that they are special. We plan on teaching dance workshops and putting together dance routines for the kids to learn.
We are only a few days away from departure, and all of us are very excited, yet anxious. We continue to ask for your prayers in the following:
- Safety and health of the team.
- Spiritual preparation.
- Meeting the financial expenses of the trip.
In addition to prayers, if you feel led to help contribute financially to the mission, we would greatly appreciate any amount that will be split amongst us five. The date for contributions have been extended for another month!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any of us, or click
