Andrus Family Mission Inc. Missionaries in Kenya, Africa Although we were exhausted we would not close our eyes for a minute. The extreme amount and severe poverty was too much to take in.

Not everyone can do everything but everyone can do something

From the moment we stepped foot on the red soil of Africa in September 2011 our family will never be the same. We visited overpopulated orphanages and saw little abandoned children eating the left over burnt trash. How could we make a difference? There are so many of them and so few of us. How can we go back home to our beautiful home

with all our stuff? God has giving us a joy and a peace as we have begun the process of selling all our things to go serve in Africa. We are praying God's direction to where he will send us; please pray for us as we pray direction.

One of the greatest privileges we have at Dream Academy is visiting our students in their homes. These visits help us understand each child’s story beyond the classroom—their family, their challenges, their strengths, and the environment they return to each day.

When we know their story, we can love them better, serve them better, and walk alongside them with greater understanding and compassion.

This year, our staff is working through more than 200 home visits, and by the end of Kenya’s school year in November, we hope to have personally visited every Dream Academy student’s home.

We’re also excited to welcome Liz to our team! One of her roles is keeping our student sponsors connected by sending regular updates about the children they support.

If you sponsor a Dream Academy student, keep an eye on your inbox! We’d love to know if you’re receiving the emails, because so far we haven’t had many responses. A quick reply—even just “Got it!”—helps us know they’re reaching you and lets us continue improving our communication.

Thank you for walking this journey with us. Your prayers, encouragement, and sponsorship are helping change lives—one child, one family, and one home at a time.

❤️ Every child has a story. We believe every story matters.

As a small child, what did it feel like to be noticed?

This last week during our 500 Club volunteer meeting, we talked about that very question.

Every one of us can probably remember someone who truly saw us. Someone who noticed us, made time for us, listened to us, encouraged us… and because they did, our lives were changed in some way.

That’s what we try to do every day.

To make time for people.

To really see them.

Jesus was often surrounded by crowds, yet He never lost sight of the individual. He stopped for the one. He listened to the one. He loved the one.

Our prayer is that every child, every mother, every volunteer, and every person who walks through our gates leaves knowing they were seen, valued, and deeply loved.

So let me leave you with three questions…

• Who made you feel seen?
• What did it feel like to know someone truly noticed you?
• How are you helping the people God places in your path feel seen today?
