Right now I'm in London Heathrow Airport, praying that I get a seat on the Virgin Atlantic flight to Nairobi in two hours.
This summer I have been blessed with the opportunity to participate in an internship with a company called Enterprise International in Kenya and South Africa. I am going with a team of five other interns, plus two EI staff members, and we will be doing research and development for small businesses in these two countries. But the most exciting part is our purpose: we are seeking to create and support successful businesses that will provide sustainable funding for local missionaries and ministries. Missionaries have enough trouble raising support in America where the poverty line starts at an annual income of $22,000. But try raising support in a country where the average annual income is only $15,000. This is where EI specializes. EI employs experienced business professionals with a passion for Christ who know how to identify solid business opportunities and pursue them. I had never heard of a company like this before I applied for this internship, and I am so excited to see what God will do during our time in Africa over the next month. Stay tuned!!
