Meet Dan and Kara
A person once told us, “I see a bus in your future— and that bus has a lot of children on it.” Those words made my wife and I chuckle. So we placed that moment on a memory shelf like an old book and moved on. Eventually our family grew and we became a small family of four.

Fast forward many years and that old dusty book fell off the shelf landing on our lap, opened to a new chapter in our lives (pun very much intended). It’s a story set in Kenya about a struggling children’s home during a global pandemic, an amateur virtual science teacher and a desperate plea for better nutrition and sustainable clean water. We can save the details for another time… But the takeaway is that our lives now revolve around— a lot of children.

Dan and Kara joined hands with Bishop Patroba and his wife Ruth back in 2021. Bishop Patroba is the founder and director of Abundant Mercy of Jesus Ministries. AMJM is a local Christian church in Kitale, Kenya whose mission is to give meaning, a voice and much needed support to orphaned children and widowed women in a region where these society groups are often forgotten, stripped of their possessions and neglected of their basic human rights. AMJM operates a small children’s home, school and widow’s program. Basic operations are funded by local farming while more robust programming is supplemented by our small organization. It is this partnership that has made the children and women’s programming expand to reach more and achieve more.

AMJM’s slogan is “A place where Everybody is Somebody.” We couldn’t agree more.
