THE GOSPEL; CHANGING ONE PERSON AT A TIME.

Welcome to the blog of a teenage missionary, Vanessa Smith. She loves sharing the love of Jesus and the hope of the gospel with the children and young people in other nations.


“I will not change the world. Jesus will do that. But I can change the world for one person. So, I will keep loving, one person at a time.”
– Katie Davis Majors, Amazima Founder



The mission of Upendo Ministries is to spread love, compassion, and hope to communities in need specifically in Kenya, but also in other African and Asian countries. Through our blog, we aim to inspire and inform others about the transformative power of missionary work and sharing the gospel. We believe that by sharing our stories, we can foster understanding, build connections, and make a positive impact in the lives of others.
“If a commission by an earthly king is considered an honor, how can a commission by a Heavenly King be considered a sacrifice?”
