The Troeschs are headed to Kenya! We are so excited to walk into this adventure together, one that has been on each of our hearts for years now. We have seen God move in so many ways as we continually support and encourage our Kenyan family + friends from afar, and we are thrilled to be walking towards joining them in their own homes and villages soon.

We will be traveling to Nairobi this coming December and staying into January. Although we know it seems last minute, we know Dad has purposed us for such a time as this. We are expectant for all that will take place as we travel with our team over there and lean into the work being done to further His kingdom.

There are several things tugging at our hearts as to why
we are heading over to further press in and partner with the hearts in Kenya.
1) Natalia works with a company called Raggamuffin (you should check them out here :) ) Together, they rescue, restore, and support women in Kenya through teaching them a trade and offering fair wages for their craft, helping to keep them out of slavery and sex trafficking. We will be spending time with our Ragga'Kenya director and artists, as we speak life into their creative hearts, fill needs, and further product development/training for this portion of the company.
2) We also partner with Inter-United, an organization using music and soccer to forge friendships in our local community and around the world to promote hope, love, and fun. We will be partnering with them and the orphanage they support to bring better orphan care and education programs for the 46 boys and girls within, as well as advocate adoption for each and every one. See more of their story here + a video of Natalia's recent trip to China with them here !
3) Redeeming Africa's Hope is another huge reason why we are able to step onto Kenyan soil for this trip. Laura + Kerah are dear friends of ours;moving, making, and shaking life and love all accross Kenya. Their vision and heart to see this country fully alive is contageous and we are thrilled to have more"family" to come along us and partner together in this fight for love! Check out their full story here .

Because this trip is right around the corner, we are needing more financial support than expected. He is so faithful and we know He has gone before us with this and so much more.

As we walk into what He has already went before and prepared, we are excitedly emptying our storage space to sell items fromour home, picking up extra work, and believing in all that He has for this trip!

We'd love for you to join us in these partnerships -in telling these beautiful people's stories, and bringing life + love to Kenya! We can't fully express the fullness that we feel in our hearts from your constant encouragement and love. Thank you for your prayers and covering, they are HUGE and the best support we could ever ask for.

Much love,
Stephen + Natalia
