As missionaries to Africa many people ask us what we do and trying to describe that is sometimes hard. Many people do not understand the importance of Rift Valley Academy in relation to missions in Africa. This video was created this past spring in the hopes that everyone who watched it would have a better understanding of what goes on at RVA and why the school is so important. Thank you for taking the time to watch and may God Bless You!

Farewell Kenya, Africa!

Farewell Kenya and Africa!! You have been an incredible and gracious home. You have taught us how to love, live, and laugh all at the same time. It is with sadness in our hearts that we leave, but with joy that we know we will see you again. Africa, you have rooted yourself deep in our veins. Our love for you and your people will never cease. God is present with you. To our family at RVA, we look foward to the day that we will see you all again. The friendships that have developed, the memories that have been made. They are now a part of who we are. It is with much gratitude that we thank everyone who shared their lives with us this year, and God willing, for many years to come. We will miss everyone. God Bless and Keep You All!!!!!

MUNGU IBARIKI AFRICA!!!!! (God Loves Africa)

Kwaheri (Goodbye), for now!

As I sit here, I realize that we are on our last two week in Kenya and I have not posted anything on this website in over a month. Sorry! This month has been filled with lots of ups and downs. There has been a lot of sickness going around campus, therefore we have not had a full dorm much this month. It has been a very busy time as we are preparing to return stateside. There are lots of emotions that come with this and you have to give everyone time to process.  We need to remember that we must finish strong and say our good-bye’s well in order to leave this place that we have come to know as home. Hopefully, we will be able to return here as soon as possible. It is our hearts desire to minister to these student and we believe that God is calling us into continued service in Africa and at RVA. Please pray with us that all the transistions and changes happening over the next month will go smoothly and that everyone will adjust quickly. Thank you so much for all your prayers and may God bless you in everything you do. We will be sure to write more in the coming days!
