J-term

Go Near Ministries partners with LRCA for two weeks in January to allow high school students to serve God in Kenya.

The 2012 team of LRCA students worked extremely hard with hearts eager to serve. We cared for abandoned children, served in schools in the slums, delivered school supplies, visited the elderly, brought light into the slum dwellings, ran with the animals at Crescent Island and finished with kissing giraffes.

Testimonies

“Going to Africa was an incredible experience. Taking part in mission work hands on was something I’ll never forget. I became more aware of how God is truly present in every situation. One of my favorite moments was handing out backpacks to the kids at Uzimatele. Watching their faces light up as they received a gift that seems so trivial to us was sublime. Thank you for opening your ministry to us and showing what service looks like. I am returning back to Little Rock to continue being used by God to help the poor in Kenya.”

“Thank you for taking me on this trip. It was such a blessing! I was really nervous, but you made me feel so comfortable and welcomed me into the group. This trip definitely challenged me. I am so grateful for the times you stopped and helped me talk through whatever emotions I was experiencing. Africa has been on my heart and I know that God placed you in my life to be there with me when I first experienced it! Your determination to help the people of Kenya inspires me and it makes me want to spend my life helping others, like you have done.”

"I can’t tell you how much of a blessing it was for me to see Africa through your eyes! It was truly an experience I will remember for a lifetime. I know it must not have been easy carting us around, but I was so glad you did. You all were so fun and easy to be around–Thank you for everything."
