About 2 weeks after we arrived, we all needed to get out of the city for the day. We spent the day at one of our favorite places, Crescent Island. It is a beautiful place where you can take a walking safari. The kids loved seeing the animals and we all enjoyed a quiet day together.
About 2 weeks after we arrived, we went for an adventure. We went to one of our favorite places in Kenya for a walking safari. The kids were so excited to see the animals and we all enjoyed having a day out of the city.
In order to best tell our story of what the Lord is doing in Kenya, we set up a new video site and blog, just in time for our Annual Campaign. You can check it out at www.adventurescalling.org. See you there!
Divu is a 15 year old Indian boy who’s family owns the large restaurant downstairs. Thus, he’s always just hanging out around Diamond Plaza. He’s been stopping into our space for months, waiting for us to open. Now, this past week, he’s been here every day & night, including 8 hours on Saturday. Previously he used to bide his time playing pool by himself at the pool hall in the basement. But, now, he spends his time following Andrew & Stephen around. Now, he’s being loved on by our staff, and Andrew invited him to join our Youth events on Sunday afternoon – where he’s now hearing the Gospel!
Dave is an ex-pat, probably in his late 20’s, who runs a business and lives to go rock climbing. He’s been at our place every day / night that we’ve been open this past week also. He’s longing for community, and a place to connect. Stephen got to have a really good conversation with him last night, and he represents just one of many that our staff will now have the opportunity to pour into multiple times a week!
In its first week of operation, Climb BlueSky had the opportunity to impact over 200 people. God has been so gracious in allowing this dream to come to fruition. Stephen and Andrew express their gratitude in the video below.

When asked to share some highlights of the day, Co-Director, Stephen Powell said,”PEOPLE IN THE GYM!! It is so incredible to watch other people enjoy what we have worked so hard to build. And after all the reason we built it was for people. We had expats, Indians, Kenyans, families, climbing buddies, and kids come enjoy the gym. It was great foresight into the kind of crowd we will draw to the gym and the opportunity we have to expose them to the Gospel.
