Kenya Night Continued...

Last night, NMC Student Ministries took part in a student-led night that centered around two ministries in Kenya, the AGC Abandoned Baby Center & the Maasai Project. The night was filled with all kinds of activities ranging from a bake sale, talent show, silent auction, and time spent in prayer for the ministries.

Thoughts from the night...
  • We have some incredibly talented students! Lots of small groups put together items for the bake sale...that looked amazing! Several students were involved in the talent show, ranging from a Preteen Dance & Sign Language Workshop to a Junior High drama to some hilarious skits and great vocal performances from the Senior High. Overall, it was incredible!
  • People know how to give! Earlier in the day, we updated the prices for the silent auction items. By the end of the night, I was floored by some of the bids that had come in!!! There's still 3 days left to get involved there! So check out the Kenya Night site and bid like crazy!!!
  • Prayer is still the key! The close of the night was probably my favorite part. Why? Because everyone took time to pray for these two ministries! There were pictures up all along the walls of the Maasai and babies from the Baby Center, and so, people gathered around them and just began to pray. If there's one thing we're going to get right...it will be prayer! The Prayer Army is growing. God is up to something big! Consider how you might get involved!

Kenya Night was certainly not just about one night. It's a movement that is continuing to charge forward calling all Christ-Followers to MOVE. It's a chance for each of us to look beyond ourselves and recognize that "we are not our own." We have been given an incredible invitation to jump onboard with what God is already doing!

Are you ready to MOVE?
