Hello, my name is Elizabeth, but everyone calls me Liz. Born into a family of ten children I was raised in the slums of Korogocho. After losing four of my siblings I was responsible for taking care of my little sisters. Living next to a large mountain of waste called Dandorra our daily life consisted of searching for something to eat and collecting enough plastics and rubber to earn money to pay for school because my parents could not afford it. As a young child I always knew that this place was not the place where God wanted me to be and although seemingly impossible I knew that He would take me out of this place. At the age of sixteen I was adopted by a loving Kenyan family. It was difficult for me to leave my family but I decided to go and live with them. They gave me a really warm home with a bed, just for me. The father of my new foster home was also a church founder and a pastor. He paid for my studies. I found work as a receptionist and completed pastoral training at Life Spring Chapel. When God called me to go back to the slums of Korogocho I have spent several years struggling to obey Him. I kept thinking to myself; “Going back to that horrible place, is that really what You want me to do, Lord?”. But the Lord gave me peace about it. And after lots of prayer and support my church congregation sent me as a missionary and youth pastor to go and serve in Tumaini Grogon which is a local church in Korogocho.
