I cannot believe that in a little more than two weeks I will be on my way home. As my Grandma says “time flies whether you’re having any fun or not” although I have had more fun than I ever anticipated and have loved my time here and am sad that it’s already coming to an end.
BUT, it’s not over yet J And before it is, I have the tremendous opportunity to go stay in one of the former IDP camps with the Trauma team. I will leave on Monday the 18th and return on Thursday the 21st. The area is called Rockoko (pronounced roch-coco) which means “worst crying.” This area was given this name because it is known for being destitute and miserable. I was told that when people told others they were travelling to Rockoko the people would say “go at your own risk, your crying will grow worse there.”
Other than the story of its name, I know very little about this area. I am so excited to live among the people, learn more about them and from them, and experience God moving, healing, and transforming lives.
I would like to ask for prayer during this time; I feel like God has been preparing me for such a time as this- I don’t know what He has in store but want to be willing, whatever it may be J May He be glorified, may His love overflow. I’m praying with excitement and expectation!
Thank you for praying with me, I expect to have wonderful things to share with you when I get back.
I am excited for you. Sounds like a fun adventure! I will be praying for you!
ReplyDeleteI love you and miss you!!!
Can not believe we're down to almost 2 weeks, wow. Praying for your trip sweetheart, knowing that God will be revealing so much more to you. Praying for the things we talked about, and so excited to see what this week will bring. When you get back you will be an Auntie (again) to lil' Miss. : ) We love you sweetheart!

Praying for you as you go Kels. Googled the town's name briefly and read a quick blurb about all the orphaned children, disease and heartache there. Sounds as if the sad name is fitting for such brokenhearted and displaced people. Asking for God's light to shine bright in all of you while you're there and for the precious people to whom you will be offering Hope and Help. Love you!
