A Week in Kenya and What We Learned There

February 25, 2014

We recently spent a week in Kenya with the awesome missionaries Brent and Rosemarie Hanson to experience what God is doing on the campuses of Nairobi. Can you say BEAUTIFUL?!? We were blown away by what is possible. It was so encouraging to see what we formerly had no idea even existed in Africa; a living body of college students pursuing Christ together. As we looked around a room full of about 100 students praising the Lord, all I could think was -What if Brent and Rosemarie had not come? -What would these students be doing tonight? Now, with ministries on three campuses, the gospel is being proclaimed to hundreds of students week after week. That will happen in Mozambique. God will bring in a harvest among the future leaders, the educated, the determined, and He will send them and use them in ways we could never imagine. Some will be lawyers, teachers, doctors, and others will forsake the "American Dream" and walk onto the mission field in countries where we could never go with our bright-white skin. Like I said, beautiful. God move on the campuses of Mozambique! If you will, please pray that out loud now. Thank you for believing with us. Thank you for your faith. We love you.

At the top is a photo of us about two and half hours outside of Nairobi in an area where the Maasai people live. The formation behind us is called "God's Home". The formation in my belly is called a baby boy; I'm 30 weeks!

Hello! I'm Andrea Marlin.

Matt and I live in Maputo, Mozambique--it's in Africa--with our kids, Cedar (4), Cypress (2), and Acacia (baby). Why? We are here starting discipleship movements among university students that will change the world. For real, we actually believe it!! Currently, we are on 30+ campuses and our days consist of changing diapers, talking about Jesus, and watching our favorite college students change Mozambique. We have the best life. #momentsinMoz

Matt doesn't complain, like ever, but this is the one place in the world that frustrates him, yet here he is *smiling. 😍 Today as we were working on things around our house, I was struck (again) by how amazing he is. He often lugs a heavy load and never mentions it. For example: If he sees this post he will be like, "what are you talking about?" 👌 It's not that he doesn't feel the weight, it's more like he feels that complaining would reduce what we get to be a part of to a job and not a joy. He lives so purposed, with such motivation and drive. It inspires me (but not too much because #youdoyouboo 😂.) Just feel like bragging on him. The end. *complete transparency, there have been plenty of non-smiling moments here. 😅
