You’re incredible, Jessica! This is really inspiring. Plus, I’m super jealous of you! Sounds like you’re making the most of life. Don’t ever lose your spirit

Jessica-
Thanks for the invite to meet Martha and hear of her faithfulness. Just yesterday we heard of another gal who spent just month in Africa helping at an orphanage. The message of light in darkness is so powerful. I am moved to reassess how Jesus light in me is dimmed as I hold on to “stuff” and neglect to give – physically, spiritually, mentally! Thank you for faithfully sharing all you’ve been learning.
Love – Aunt Ruth

Thanks Nick (and all the rest of you!) for your interest and comments. Martha is currently working through Karura Community Chapel to connect supporters with her projects. Right now, they are organizing a jigger eradication project for the children in her program. You can email info@karuracc.or.ke for more information!

“My vision became more urgent now at this moment because my children have grown, they have all gone out of the house,”….oh how I understand this. As Erwin McManus writes “God calls us out of the life we have known, and into a life we have never imagined.” Martha lives into this in a way that we all could learn from. Thanks Jess.

I’m with Dave – that comment “so just release yourself” really hit me. Freedom to serve those who need freedom from injustice. wow. I now understand more fully being free to love, free to serve – and what happens when I am not free. Thanking God for all the Marthas who live in that freedom…and for those who lose a little shackle weight with each act of love and kindness and service from these Marthas.

Thanks Jessica, for introducing us to Martha and then letting us see more deeply into the heart that drives her.

Very inspiring to see Martha’s faithfulness to her calling, then to see her dream come true with such impact. It hit me that her joy (from her success) can be so easily shared – by me so far away. This is a central aspect of partnership, and partnership is central to building the Kingdom. Thank you Jess.

Martha challenges us – “So please just release yourself”. Wow, release myself. Now I have to think about that…from what? What have I bound myself to? by? for?

Thank you Jess, thank you Martha. You inspire me!
