Disciples Women
Woman-to-Woman Worldwide: Disciples Women visited
Kenya
Women representing 12 regions of the Christian
Church (Disciples of Christ) have participated in the 2004
Woman-to-Woman Worldwide (WWW) delegation. Nineteen participants
traveled to Kenya, East Africa, from November 8 to 23, 2004.
WWW allows Disciples women to travel internationally
each year to experience life with Christian women in other
parts of the world. The delegates go as representatives of
their respective regions and return as resource persons for
local churches, their regions and Disciples Women's groups.

Participant comment by Macanna Murray, Missouri
"These presentations have been a wonderful experience for me. I have felt so welcomed, as I met new people at new churches. I enjoyed their interest and their hospitality. I was amazed at their generosity! Many of them gave me travel money and generous offerings and checks. My own church has held several fund raisers dedicated to Kenya Wells. I have put everything I received into an account and will soon be mailing a check for $1,720 to go to Kenya Wells.
After I gave my first presentation at the Region of Mid-America cabinet meeting, the decision was made to make "Wells for Kenya" the regional service project for 2005-2006. I will have to let you know later the dollar amount that project has risen for wells! Our Ozark Lakes Area here in Missouri contributed $13,756.79 in 2006 and $5,000 in 2005. I will continue speaking whenever asked--water is life! My journey to Kenya was a life-changing experience.”
