Everywhere we go in Kakamega people know Bishop Simeon Obayo. There are a lot of bishops (pastors) in Kenya, but Simeon is The Bishop. Today, we held a 50th anniversary celebration for both he and his wife Momma Mary at Kakamega high school. It was a grand affair with people […]
Yesterday, we made our way to the Shikusa boys detention center. It’s the largest juvenile detention in Kenya, housing some 384 boys between the ages of 15-17. WorldComp has made a significant investment here over the years providing mattresses, beds, a basketball sport court, as well as medical care. The […]
It’s the final day of the Shinyalu medical camp and I have one more inspiring story to share. One of the most common problems here in this village is poor eyesight. Really, it’s not any more prevalent than anywhere else in the world; there is simply no access to a […]
Today was a very difficult day in Shinyalu. We saw things that cannot be unseen. We experienced things that will leave a lasting impression on our minds of the great needs here among the people of Kenya. Dr. George Matimbai (our head doctor for WorldComp medical camps) tells me these […]
Our week in Nairobi was incredible, but we are pressing on to Western Kenya for the second medical camp of our trip, and to honor our great friend Simeon Obayo on his 50th wedding anniversary and retirement from ministry. Our first stop was Kakamega PEFA church for Sunday morning worship. […]

When I searched for Lenana school on Google, it produced several images of a state of the art boarding school where only the wealthiest families in Nairobi send their children. The Lenana school we support is nothing of the sort. It’s called the Lenana Junior Community School. It’s a school […]
Tears were flowing down my face as I walked into the Kibera Children’s Center to the joyful singing of children. I couldn’t stop crying for the next 10 minutes. I must’ve looked like the leaking “Mzungu” (white man). Every Christmas Eve, for the past 7 years, at Westside church, I […]
The conclusion to the Kimbo medical outreach is behind us now, but I wanted to share some final thoughts with all of you. The sum total of patients treated during the three days reached just over 3,000. Dr. George Matimbai informed me this figure is a minimal number. By the […]
We just finished up the second day at the Kimbo medical camp outreach. We were able to see 1,100 patients today bringing our two-day total to 2,000. It is truly exhausting work. There are hundreds of people who are given the diagnosis and the medication they desperately need, but there […]
