Some gifts travel farther than the hands that carry them. When a small group from Valley Pentecostal Church in Glendale, Arizona answered a call to minister at a National Ladies Conference in Bungoma, Kenya, they went believing they had something to offer. What they discovered on the other side of the world was that God had already been at work — long before their plane ever left the ground. In this final episode of our Kenya series, Pam Johnson and Alexis Banda share what they witnessed, what they felt, and what they could not leave behind. A conference. A room full of women. A moment that none of them were prepared for. And a love that needed no passport to travel. This is what happens when the body of Christ reaches across the world — and the world reaches back.

Some stories are told after they happen.
This one begins before we ever arrive.

In this episode of Paths to Glory, we invite you into a moment that is still unfolding. As three generations prepare to travel to Kenya for a women’s conference, this is not a story of what God has already done—but of what we believe He is about to do.

With humility, we reflect on the weight of being entrusted with this opportunity, the trust of pastoral leadership in sending us, and the overwhelming awareness that we are not going alone. The prayers, faith, and expectation of the church go with us, connecting what God is doing here with what He is already doing there.

We do not yet know the faces we will meet, the stories we will hear, or the prayers we will witness being answered. But we do know this—God is already at work, and we are simply stepping into something that was set in motion long before we ever arrived.

This is more than a journey.
It is an invitation.

Come with us—not after the story is told, but as it begins.
