      <image:caption>Kenyan Schools of Hope (KSOH) gives girls fleeing female genital mutilation and forced early marriage a safe place, care, and education. KSOH believes every child should feel safe, loved, and able to reach their potential. A Christian education for boys and girls is central to changing acceptance of FGM and early marriage. The Ewaso Osiligi School and Rescue Center sits on 12 acres; its dormitory holds 120 girls and the school serves 240 students. The Osiligi Center is the first of several planned schools across Kenya.

Once inside, each person is seen by a doctor or nurse for their specific health concerns and then proceeds to the pharmacy, where appropriate medications are dispensed. Our medical teams are well organized and capable of treating up to one thousand people in a single day.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Trinity Lutheran Church (Bloomington, IL) began participating in Kenya vision mission trips in 2009 after a pastor and lay leader attended a missions conference at Salem Lutheran Church. In November 2009, 10 Trinity members formed two teams that joined members from Texas churches. Both teams had rewarding experiences working with Kenyans. We’ve continued this outreach for over 15 years and look forward to ongoing partnership with Kenya and Salem. Christa Springer 309.824.4201 xapie777@gmail.com</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Trinity and Klein invited Memorial and Katy to work in Kenya. No seminary or language study was required—just willingness to serve. Hundreds came to clinics where eye care and the Gospel met real needs. We began with two trips a year. Each clinic increased respect for Kenyans and sparked mission interest in the congregation. Those who went were supported by those who couldn’t. Within a few years, Memorial moved from guest missionaries to a mentoring congregation.</image:caption>

Salem invited several mission-minded members on a “come and see” trip; they were moved by the experience, so Redeemer adopted it as a church project. Since 2009 we’ve been a Mentor church and have taken over 125 people to Kenya for these missions. God has greatly blessed us.
