Meet Ambo Kenny!

We never intended to adopt again, but as we prepare to leave Kenya, we are so thankful for the newest member of our family!

Baby Ambo

Earlier this spring our African partner churches and colleagues (Jonathan Mills, Carla Nelson, and Darrell & Laura Lee Bustin) gave us the unbelievable gift of a baby elephant.

Baby Ambo was found abandoned in the sticky mud

 of Kenya's Amboseli National Park in 2016.

Park rangers and members of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

rescued the malnourished elephant and brought him to be 

cared for at their rescue centre in Nairobi. 

With our partner's gift, the adoption will provide our little Ambo support and help as he grows up in the safety of the Nairobi National Park and cared for by the team at David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. We have visited Ambo several times over the past year, but the highlight was an opportunity we had over Easter to tuck him into bed and spend one-on-one time with our Ambo. 

As we leave, we are grateful to know that he is well cared for and that in a small way we are a part of the conservation efforts that will continue in Kenya.
