Seven Wilshire members traveled to Busia, Kenya, in early December to deliver Christmas presents to orphans in the care of Buckner International.
These children are the primary focus of a new Child Development Center that soon will serve Busia, thanks to gifts from Wilshire’s Ministry Fund. Wilshire has a multi-year commitment to work with Buckner and the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship in this mission endeavor. The December trip was the second for Wilshire members to Busia.
Since the last trip in the summer, a new water well has been installed in the village, providing clean drinking water to residents. This was made possible through the Baptist General Convention of Texas. Go to the
photo gallery on the Wilshire website to view pictures from the trip.
The next trip to Kenya is scheduled for April 18 through 28. To learn more, attend the KidsHeart Africa session at Wilshire Academy Sunday, Jan. 21, or contact Minister of Missions Jason Coker at (214) 452-3110 or
