My first introduction to CHRIS WOHLERS was through Allison Hibbard...she invited him in '08 to work in Kenya with Oasis of Hope and Sister Freda and Discover to Recover and Purpose Driven Academy.
It now seems like I've known Chris most of my life...
He's on Jake's top 10 list of servant-hearted leaders...
Kyle, DIGS Chris' energy and humor...and
Caroline has now beaten Chris in 34,257 consecutive games of ping pong...
In our family...that's the TRIPLE CROWN.
Chris is the head of our SUMMER LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE in Kitale for the next 3 months...22 university-age Christians, living and serving Christ in the RIFT VALLEY of western Kenya.drop-in centers...hospitals...schools...group homes...feeding centers...churches...prisons...
Chris has demonstrated the heart, the capacity, and the character to 'serve by example' this summer. It will be a challenge, for sure...these folks arrive from extremely different backgrounds and life goals...a sheriff, a nurse, a teacher, students from BIOLA and WESTMONT and CAL BAPTIST and CSUF...
Chris just arrived on the Kitale campus...so glad to be through this semester...and so glad to see his Kenya colleagues.

ReplyDeleteThanks Steve,
ReplyDeleteI just read this in the Kitale coffe shop/ cyber cafe/ movie theater/ billards hall/ library/ african things shop, and I shed some tears. Love you man, and it has been an honor knowing and laughing with your family, and learning from you.
