Our family led a team of Costa Ricans and Americans to Kenya, Africa.  God provided miraculously for our team to go and work with the Masai people group.  For over a month, our team ministered God's love by caring for AIDS babies, serving in the kitchen for an E. African missions conference, walking for miles to share Jesus in indigenous villages, teaching students at local schools and building up the nearby church.  God truly used this time to open all of our eyes to the ways He can use all of us.

The Bedenkop family serving in Kenya, Africa. We served with the Athi River YWAM base along with 8 of the Discipleship Training Students from the US and Costa Rica.

Khakis, sun hats, acacia trees, dusty path, truly trailblazing for Christ! We can only imagine the paths God will lead them on in the future.

The beautiful Masai people. This indigenus nomadic tribe lives in the bush of Kenya and Tanzania. The highlight of our outreach was ministering and making friends with them.

A Masai hut, made of cow dung and mud, they live in primitive conditions but are made in the image of God.

Our team's littlest members ... although this outreach was physically tough on them (no running water, toilets, etc) they persevered and God opened doors through their smiles.
