During their time there, the team will serve, support, and encourage local communities through conferences, teaching, preaching, and prayer. They will spend time with widows, young people, children, and families caring for orphans, as well as alongside farmers, small business owners, pastors, and Bible college students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As always, our team members personally cover the cost of their travel, accommodation, meals, and personal expenses. Every mission offering and donation received goes directly towards ministry on the ground. This year, that includes purchasing and distributing Bibles, reading glasses, and sporting equipment to support and bless local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you for partnering with us in prayer and generosity as we continue to support the work God is doing in Kenya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/gvcf.org.au\/give\/\">GVCF GIVING PAGE<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To donate, please select the MISSIONS account as you enter details.
