A recap from the Bosh Family's support letter:
A group of 14 from University Place Presbyterian Church (UPPC) will be traveling to
Meru, Kenya (in East Africa), July 28-August 13, 2018. This trip will be the sixth of its kind – the last
was in 2014 -- as the church has been building relationships in Meru for over 15
years now.
The UPPC Kenya Team manages the
sponsorship of needy children in Meru through a ministry called Cherish
Ministry to Meru. Cherish partners with
a Kenyan non-profit organization, Hope International Ministry Trust. The six volunteer board members of Hope
International Ministry Trust (we call them Hope Guardians) administer
sponsorships and relay news to us about sponsored children. Our ministry has grown to almost 200 children
sponsored by folks here in the U.S.
As always, we plan to use this summer’s
Meru mission trip to facilitate relationships between our church and Hope
International Ministry Trust and to create additional connection between
sponsors and the children we support. There
are families with children traveling this time, ranging in ages from 7 to 13,
and we are especially hoping to foster relationship-building between American
and Kenyan kids. We plan to visit as many
of the sponsored children and families as possible, assist with a seminar for
them, and hold meetings with the Hope Guardians. All of this in only two weeks!
We would appreciate your prayers as we
prepare to travel, and as our team ministers to and with the people of
Meru. If you feel called to commit to
praying for us and our team, let us know by emailing Emily at emilybosh@yahoo.com.
If you’d like to
support the trip financially, please go to www.cherishmeru.org
and go to the Mission Trip 2018 tab. Specific prayer requests and notes from different travelers coming soon...
