My relationship with Jesus is like throwing a ball against the wall: it’s going to come back to you. So when I pray to Jesus there will always be an answer to my prayer.
I know that having faith in God is a commitment which involves trusting God, or trusting in God. I would like to think of faith as trust. If you don’t have faith in God, then who knows what’s going to happen next for you – because only He does.
Sometimes I get mad at God, and I know I shouldn’t. I think to myself, “Why? Why would you get mad at a Savior?”
I recently watched a powerful video that struck me. A preacher said, “How do you define God’s love?” That’s a critical question. If you have a child, and they say they love you because you let them eat ice cream, but instead you tell them to, “Eat your vegetables!” they’re going to say, “I HATE you!!”
If you prayed to Jesus, and you asked Him to bless your day, and you had a bad day, you would get mad if you were a child. That day I found my answer. Jesus wants me to trust Him. So I don’t conclude that He doesn’t love me when I don’t get a blessed day, or if my dog doesn’t make it out alive, or if I don’t get ice cream.
If I put my faith and trust in Jesus, I’m going to be okay because I know that there is a good, good Father watching over me.

We built the first church with great difficulty. We went back to the States and the board asked us to become mission staff with the Outreach Foundation. That was 25 years ago, just about, and we’ve gotten more involved with Kenya as days and years went on.

I am a chef by profession. I’m happy because I do what I love. Now I work at Villadise Tours and Safaris, where I meet so many different people coming from far. Being helpful is just a blessing to other people.

Then God started tugging on my heart. There was a church sermon series that was about taking your God-given dream off the shelf. I was like, “I don’t know what my dream is. God, if you have a dream for me you’re going to have to tell me what it is.”

We attended church but maintained a passive religious life. Our family had been going to church and proclaiming, “Jesus is our Savior and Lord,” with our mouths only. It seemed that my heart was gradually drifting away from God.

So, I just put my faith in Jesus. I trust him and it is my prayer that my children and the entire community will know Jesus because of my faith. Our salvation should not be only our own. We should encourage other people.

I’m no longer worried because I have come to learn that God’s timing is the best. You cannot hurry God. These days, all I do is wait, no matter what, I just wait. I know my time will come and that time is God’s time. So, I keep on waiting for God to do for me wonders.
