Hearts Full & Eyes Open
Day 5
Day 5 was one of those days that gently shifts your perspective. It’s easy to grumble about the little things — a grocery run after work, a stain on your shirt, a restless night, or wishing you had someone else’s talents. But today, the Huruma team was reminded of just how richly blessed we are in ways we often overlook.
The team spent the day visiting the homes of Huruma Hope School families — an experience overflowing with humility, gratitude, and love. They were warmly welcomed into each home, met new family members, and had the privilege of praying with and for them.
One especially touching moment came when a great-grandmother offered a heartfelt prayer. She asked that God would grant her a long life so she could continue caring for her great-grandchildren. Then, her great-grandson prayed that he would live long enough and receive a good education so he could one day support his great-grandmother and family. The team’s hearts were deeply moved by the beauty and selflessness of their words — a powerful reminder of faith, love, and generational hope.
There was also joy in reunion — Suzan, Shelley, and Mike were thrilled to reconnect with a few past Huruma graduates. Watching those embraces and smiles was a special moment that spoke volumes about the lasting impact of this ministry.
In the afternoon, the team explored Karura Forest, where many of the students’ parents work. Surrounded by God’s creation, it was a peaceful time to reflect on all they had seen and lift up the families they met in prayer.
Today was eye-opening. It reminded the team how much we truly have — and how powerful it is to be welcomed into someone’s home with open arms and genuine hearts.
Please keep praying for the Huruma families: for jobs, for health, for provision, and for God’s love to soak into every part of their lives.
