The Kiezebrinks' faith inspires them to give God's love however and wherever they can, but in this moment it was the Kazuri women doing the giving! While visiting the former Karen Blixen estate (of the Award Winning Film "Out of Africa"), where "Kazuri" (Swahili for small and beautiful) is, they encountered something so inspiring! 

Here one woman Lady Susan Wood back in 1975 began an effort to supply two women with work, which then blossomed to providing jobs for single moms in the hundreds. Together they make hand-made beads into jewelry which is now sold all over the world. 

Spontaneously in 2010 as Erika, Deborah, Ruth and Racquel were visiting the factory the women rose and began to dance and sing in Swahili a song of worship and thanks to God. They sang without bitterness at the hardship they endure, without hesitation for a difference of culture or language. With joy and with love they ended by coming over to take the Kiezebrinks' hands to ask them to dance and sing with them. 

By the end all were in tears, and then the happy group simply sat back down to work. Deborah did her best to capture some of the singing before her battery died.
