• With a relatively short time, the Timothy Project: Valor Kenya 2016 request that came in at the end of May and the fulfillment before leaving mid-June had some wonderful results. We share just a brief part of the story in this Timothy Project: Valor Kenya 2016 Final Update. You can follow along with their travel log for the team of Valor students and teachers, here. Team Lead, Greg Blake, had this to share in a final update from the team (along with the pictures below):   First, let me tell what a huge blessing the jersey's and soccer balls were to the students in Kenya.    We distributed the equipment to three different locations: the Masai School at Oldonyonyoke, the youth center at
