The Emma Nicoles

Beautiful Emmas
Emma Nicole Kenny with Emma Nicole Barnett

Last night we had a fun evening with our friends Scott, Lara and Emma who will be leaving Kenya this spring while we are on home assignment in Canada. Lara has been an art teacher at Rosslyn Academy over the past few years, while Scott has been working with Kenyan churches in rites of passage ministries for youth.

We were thrilled to discover in November that Lara and Scott had coincidentally chosen "Emma Nicole" for their newborn baby girl. Little Emma cuddled with all of us as we shared supper together. Although they will soon be leaving Kenya, we won't be surprised if they are back again some day.

In Prayer:

* We pray for the Barnetts as they return to the West coast of the US this spring.

* Please continue to pray for the women of the Iftin Women's Empowerment Program as they continue press on in their studies and efforts to better their lives through literacy, capacity building, and small business creation.

* We pray for our new English teacher, Farhiya, as she works to help fellow Somali and Oromo refugee women the basics of English.

  1. I laughed out loud at the picture of our Emma and Tristan, hilarious. Can you send us those pictures? Thanks for including us on your prayer list, we need it!
