Kristi Hobbs spent 7 weeks in Africa this summer hosting two mission groups at the Mercy Foundation's “JESUS. Hobbs House of Hope” Children's Home. The first group served June 12-26 and consisted of 20 people from Alamo City Christian Fellowship in San Antonio. The second consisted of 9 people from Grace Baptist Church in Bowie, Maryland and served July 20-29.
The two groups helped with construction and ministry at the Orphanage.
In addition to constructing a cow pen for the two new milk cows, and staff housing on the property, they conducted medical camps and basketball clinics which had over 2000 kids in attendance! They were able to hand out new shoes and school uniforms to the orphans living at the "House of Hope", as well as serve street children a hot meal after a church service. They also walked a 12 foot cross through the slums of Nairobi, sharing the Gospel with hundreds of people.
During the 4 weeks in between the two mission teams, Kristi worked on logistics concerning the Children’s Home. God opened many doors of opportunity, including putting a down payment on another 5 acres adjacent to the existing 5 acres on which the Children’s Home now sits. |

Kristi Hobbs and Amanda Towles spent two and a half weeks in Kenya Jan. 1-18, 2009. They stayed in the home of friends, Pastor Peter and Jemimah Njao. The purpose of the trip was two-fold. Kristi had many logistics to handle concerning the "JESUS. Hobbs House of Hope" Children's Home, and Amanda was to teach bread baking to the House of Hope Chef, Johnston.
Most importantly, though, the timing of the trip was planned so that they could be there when the first 22 orphans arrived at the home. Kristi and Amanda were able to love on the children, play with them and teach them. This was the hi-light of their trip, and made it very hard to leave! |
