The Rogers' Family Neighborhood

We appreciate your prayers as we leave today to head back to our home in Kenya via Zurich. What an amazing time we have had here in the USA connecting with friends and family. Thank you one and all for standing with us as we serve to empower lives! Don and Amy – Joshua and Nathaniel

Thank you for your prayers. We have arrived safely in upstate NY and have already enjoyed a night of sleep – an amazing breakfast in Grandmas Kitchen and a brief visit to the home of Charlie Alsheimer, an amazing nature photographer who took us to see some deer in the area. (Thank you Grandpa) http://charliealsheimer.com/ca/

As a family we are so humbled and encouraged by our amazing friends and family that stand with us and cheer us on in this journey. The past few months seem like a race ☺ We are a bit tired but so energized as we see the view ahead and all that awaits in the next few months of ministry. Thank you for standing with us and cheering our family on by your prayers, support, and encouraging notes.

Boys from Ilula children’s home helped clean the new teen dorm “Launch House ” that is nearing completion.

32 amazing people from villages throughout Kenya have arrived today as we begin a 4 day training to help them take steps out of poverty & toward a loving God.

Future Olympians at our children’s home _ Kenya. I took a walk today to see the children at the children’s home. Some were washing clothes, some were listening to music, and some were leaping barefoot over a bamboo pole that was almost as high as they were tall.
