Waizeh Solonka is a Nairobi lawyer who walks into Kenya's remand prison and finds people who don't belong there. Not because they are innocent — though some are — but because they cannot afford bail. When I was last in Kenya, I spent time volunteering alongside her in the early days of AJAR, when it was just three people with a desire to see injustice addressed. This is a conversation about justice, faith, and what it actually costs to stand in the gap for someone the system has forgotten.

Sometimes God speaks through the most ordinary things.

During a quiet time on my balcony overlooking Brussels’ Parc du Cinquantenaire, I felt prompted simply to “look at the trees.” What began as an everyday view soon became a profound reminder of how God sees the world—not as anonymous crowds, but as unique individuals, each known and loved by Him.

In this personal reflection, I explore how that moment has changed the way I think about cities, people, and our forthcoming move to Nairobi. It’s also a glimpse into the heart behind Msaada Kidogo and our desire to serve not by trying to change a nation, but by noticing the people God places in front of us.

I hope this episode encourages you to pause, look a little more closely, and remember that the God who knows every leaf also knows you.

This week, I speak to my friend Eunice, who shares the inspirational story of how an unsettling experience at a resort on the Kenyan coast when she was a young, naive 21-year-old student led to her establishing and leading an amazing social outreach programme for sex-workers here in Nairobi.
