Episode 2 - Anu Kedas - Ebola, loneliness, and God's protection in Africa

Dustin Comm sits down with Maranatha's country director in Kenya who talks about her journey to Maranatha and how she's seen God's leading no matter the challenges. From moving to Africa with a two-year old, to facing an ebola epidemic with her family of four, Anu has overcome many obstacles while serving with Maranatha in a number of countries. She talks about the loneliness that missionaries can feel while abroad, and reflects on how the trials she's faced over the years have made her a stronger leader. Finally, she touches on the current work Maranatha has been doing in Kenya in recent years, from school campuses like the Kajiado Adventist School and Rescue Center, to One-Day Church construction, to water well drilling in extremely remote and dry locations like Ileret.Thanks for listening!
