In recent weeks, missionary Andrey from Assistance Mission, serving in Kisumu, Kenya, joined a team bringing the Happy Time children’s program to the Pokot tribe. With little access to communication, his reportarriveslate — butbrimmingwithlife.

The children came. Dozens of them. To keep order, each was given a simple paper bracelet, marking theirgroup. They played. They sang. They heard stories of hope rooted in the Gospel.

While the children laughed and listened, Andrey was behind the scenes — driving the team, photographing moments, lifting and carrying, stepping in wherever help was needed. The days were long, but joyful. As the team gathered with local youth for worship, prayer, and games, something invisible but lasting was being planted: the Word of God in open hearts.

📸 He also served during a reunion of “Year for God” project graduates — young people who had once dedicated a year of their lives to deep discipleship. Now, many are leading in their churches, carrying the flame onward. Again, Andrey was there with his camera, his presence, his quiet support.

“Mission work,” he writes, “is often not what peopleenvision. It’s not always bright events and powerful sermons. It’s shopping for food. Fixing a broken stove. Teaching one lesson after another. Evangelism, more often than not, is the quiet work of faithfulness.”

This path — unseen by many — is the one bearing fruit. It’s in these rhythms that strong leaders are born. It’s in these small, consistent steps that revival iscultivated.

“Thank you,” Andrey adds, “to everyone who supports my service through IMOCE. I’m here because of your diligence before the Lord. May you be richly blessed.”
