The first time I met Jim and April, I wondered why they were in Kenya. Are they missionaries, I thought? At first, I loved them because of the fun and all the candy. As I grew older, I saw that the visits to Kenya increased, and April and Jim’s team were much bigger. I realized they were different than ordinary missionaries. They had a name, The Boaz Project. Then I understood that the team's mission was to care for orphaned children. I genuinely loved them for this because this was a different type of love that was just beautiful.
I now understand that this mission started long ago and continues, expanding and reaching out to different countries worldwide. I wanted to join this great team and give these kids the love I grew up with, the love they never experienced. I want to be like April, who shares God’s Word and His love for us instead of just bringing gifts and clothes. I take it as my mission to love these kids and give them an older brother type of love.
