Our New Dining Hall!

Yesterday, we had a surprise dedication and ribbon cutting for our new dining hall at Agape's main campus in Kisumu.  Blake Gibbs has been working tirelessly for months to erect this new structure that will accommodate a new kitchen, dining area, library, and conference room.  The staff wanted to mount a plaque on the new building reading "Blake's Office" but Blake insisted on installing a plaque reading "To God Be the Glory, Great Things He Has Done."  Amen!

Our new dining hall!  The new dining area is four times bigger than our current space.  We also use the dining hall for our Sunday worship services.  The building also features much better ventilation, which results in 15-20 degree cooler temperatures inside (than our current space)!

The new stainless steel kitchen!  A huge thank you to the ministry's supporters who helped make this kitchen a reality!  Upon seeing the new kitchen equipment, one of our cooks said in awe, "This is an American kitchen!"

The boys had "Queen Cakes" the Kenyan version of cupcakes to celebrate.
