testimonials

Dear Lisa and Paul,

 Thank you for some very pleasant days in your guest house. We traveled around Kenya for a couple of weeks with our job. The best accommodation on the whole journey was your place. It was easy to feel very much at home in Brittnys House.

It was also very interesting to listen to your experiences from this part of the world. Next time I go to Kenya I will bring my family.

I wish you all the best with your mission,

Best Regards
Johan

During my visit to Kenya in September 2005, the days I spent in Kitale and specifically at Brittany's House were definitely some of the most memorable ones. The tranquil setting of the house with its sweeping green lawns and lush tropical foliage was balm to my soul. The beautiful African décor in all the rooms added to the exotic beauty of the place and the excellent food and service provided by the staff completed the adventure. Spending time with Ms Brittany herself was of course the icing on the cake for me. Thank you Paul, Njeri and Brittany for an adventure of a lifetime.

I´ve stayed in Brittany`s House for 2 months and I would have stayed longer if I would have known about that wonderful house before (I just moved there later). People in Kitale say it´s the most beautiful house there and I just can approve that! The employees are so friendly and helpful, and Brittany, the houseowner of about one year old, is the attraction! You´ll have problems to find a house with a fridge and all that standard in Kitale anyways so you better go there!

The time spent at Brittany's House became a significant part of the incredible experience we had in Kenya. The food, the house, the grounds and the staff enhanced our trip. Please pass on our thanks to Anne and Njeri for taking such good care of our group. Coming to Africa can be quite a major and sometimes stressful transition.....Brittany's House eased the way. Thanks Paul.

Brittany's House was a great base camp for exploring Kenya. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, the breakfast excellent and the room and grounds spacious. Paul, what a terrific place you have ..compared with the other choices available, Brittany's House is a little slice of heaven.

Imagine!! Your team has just finished running a clinic seeing physically disabled children in Kisumu, Kenya. The day had started early. By 730AM breakfast was done and the vehicle loaded. The clinic site was already crowded as the Spiritual/Medical team sang with the people and shared a brief message of hope. Over 160 children came to the clinic. Casts were changed, braces applied, new problems reviewed, counseling and support given, spiritual lessons taught and you are tired.

The team grabs a late lunch having worked straight through. By 4PM you have loaded all the plastic boxes of supplies and records onto the roof rack and off you go.

The road leading from Lake Victoria to Kitale is less than ideal. The potholes are deep and now filled with water. Bicycles, pedestrians, and animals crowd the already narrow two lane road. Police have created traffic stops marked by large spiked obstructions. Rain squalls come and diminish your capabilities to see. A swarm of bees suddenly appears and covers the windshield with smears. And you are not there yet.

The sun sets and the road becomes even more dangerous as the hazards are now hidden. The stress in your shoulders increases the aches you feel. Squinting eyes seek out the way forward. Finally you come to Kitale. You turn off the main road and follow the bumpy mud roads through Kitale. Finally you see the big black gates—Brittany House. The relief just flows through your body. Snarled muscles unwind. Brittany House represents a safe haven and friendly people to welcome and refresh the team!! Thank you!

Imagine!! My name is Tim Mead. I am a missionary orthopedic surgeon serving at CURE International Children’s Hospital in Kijabe, Kenya. We have as our mission to provide Emotional, Spiritual, and Physical care for the physically disabled Kenyan child and their family. (ESP= CURE Kijabe) We are managed as a division of CURE International. CURE forms medical/ spiritual 50:50 ministries in the developing world.

The above story actually did happen. In fact we started a medical-spiritual outreach the Monday after Easter. The clinic safari started on Monday morning and finally we arrived home after 8PM on Thursday. 1000KM traveled, 760+ children seen, 85 surgeries scheduled to be done, a Jesus Film showing, and much more made the trip full.

I wish to thank all involved in the Brittany House ministry. You may not realize just how valuable a guest house can be to us. To know we have a clean, safe place to relax after a full day is invaluable. Faith Njeri in Kitale takes very special care of the team making sure all is ready for our arrival. She had organized a late meal for us. The rooms were assigned and as always very welcome. Breakfast prepared us for the next day’s clinic where we saw another 180 children.

Many missions travel out into difficult areas to reach people who otherwise would be missed. The conditions we work in are often dirty and crowded. Volumes of people come all expressing their needs. Their needs usually outstretch our capabilities to assist. CURE Kijabe outreach clinics see not only to the children’s medical needs. The spiritual team ministers to their spiritual needs and does a spiritual ‘check-up’ as well. We partner with local pastors and health care providers, if they exist, to extend our capabilities. Brittany House provides a much needed respite after completion of a busy session. We are thrilled you are a member of the team!!

Thank you for having the foresight to develop such a special ministry. As one of the CURE team members I can tell you the ministry is active and providing special gifts of service to all who rest there. We have in the past stayed at several other locations in the Kitale area. None can compare. None are as restful. None have as dedicated a staff. You should be proud of the work done on behalf of the kingdom in Kitale.

Thank you!!
