Our Kenyan friend, who is with Life Ministry Kenya, spent a few days with us in Rowayton, Connecticut. He had lunch one Sunday by the Five Mile River in Pinkney Park with friends who have been in Kenya and a couple who were going there on a Mission trip a few weeks later. .

St. Joseph's Hospital
Our second stop was St. Joseph Shelter of Hope Mission Hospital in Voi, where we delivered caps and onesies for newborn babies. These were gifts from a supplier of the Wiggles and Giggles Shop in Darien, CT. As well as delivering lots of babies, this hospital has saved hundreds of women’s lives with cervical cancer screening equipment donated by Noroton Presbyterian Church.
