Georgianna Mission Team

​The Georgianna Team was truly blessed to serve at Mahali pa Maisha.  Dave and Jen Bell and their staff are continually serving as the hands and feet of Christ.  Georgianna’s entire experience was a beautiful picture of God’s unconditional love!  We daily assisted the rescue center staff with feeding, holding, singing and playing with the many babies and toddlers.  It is a place of abundant joy for, who cannot see the face of God in that of a smiling and babbling baby!  

Our team was also afforded the privilege of serving in a clinic in a local Maisai village.  The many children present were checked for illness, consistency of growth and general health.  The mammas and village leaders were gracious hosts and one high-light of our trip!

​A tool shed and fish-cleaning work area was built by the team – with only one male team member, he and Dave taught the rest of us how to use power tools to successfully get the job done!  Hopefully this new addition to the compound will make tilapia harvest a bit easier!

​We also did lots of household chores…things that are difficult to get done in the midst of daily life and caring for the 25 babies on site.  What a blessing it was to assist Dave and Jen to ensure a clean and safe environment for the children and staff.

​Mahali pa Maisha is a peaceful place.  The surrounding grounds are full of birds singing and breezes blowing.  All team members enjoyed the “feels like home” accommodations, specifically the garden-fresh food, the team-prepared meals and nightly fellowship time.   At MpM our relationships with one another were deepened and our love and reliance on Christ strengthened. We are grateful for the mission of MpM and the many ways that God is being glorified through the faithful service of the Bells.
