Things are progressing well here in
Kenya.
Today wraps up our ‘official’ time of Kenyan
ministry training for the students.
Although learning and training never really stops, we will be in full
swing regarding the regular schedule come Monday.
Even as I type this, the team is out
participating in door-to-door visitation.
Tomorrow we depart and journey to Kijabe, somewhat of an
oasis here in
Kenya,
for a bit of a break and re-commissioning.
We are excited to make it there as the water can be consumed straight
from the tap and the air is not quite as foul, lacking the dense smog and dust
found here in the slums.
I am sorely losing the fight with the mice at this point as
so many triggerings has rendered it only moderately accurate.
However, at some point I am assuming the mice
will be too large to move around quickly from the tremendous amounts of peanut
butter they have assimilated.
Tonight will be spent with the students from the orphanage
just down the road.
Our team has adopted
a student each from the orphanage and will be spending time with them
weekly.
This particular evening allows a
meal to be shared with them as well as the Kenyan tradition of opening our home
and fellowshipping with dear friends.
We
look forward to this time bringing a suitable influence and touch of mentorship
to the students who are otherwise lacking such a friendship.
We continue to see small divine appointments as we go about
our days here.
To God be the glory.
The community has been wonderfully welcoming
to our presence and equally so with the Gospel.
Many have been touched and this is even without us officially going out
with that purpose.
I long for our time
to begin actively pursuing the needy this coming week and beyond.
May our King be praised as we carry His light
high upon the hills here in the slums!
