We went to the city yesterday & did some shopping. On the way back it was announced that the prez & wanna be prez of Kenya came to an agreement! There is a power sharing agreement with Odinga becoming PM & Kibaki remaining Prez & they are now sorting out details. So, it’s very good news, what we’ve all prayed for.
So now, we can make definite plans & not have to wander if there will be a road blockage or violence when we travel!
We are winding into our last month here & getting quite ready to return to the west. We’ve had so many different challenges & learned so much. We’ve definitely grown as leaders & believers.
We’ve also found what works & doesn’t work in regards to the people who come with us & how things have been done. We will make amendments to requirements & other things on the website.
We’ve really enjoyed the school ministry & visiting different churches every Sunday. It has given the boys with us the opportunity to do so much more teaching & preaching. All the churches have been so welcoming & loving. We really appreciate the leaders & pastors so much – all of these folks are challenged with lack of income, poor members in the congregations with monumental needs, so much. We respect & love them so much.
I’m excited about this afternoon – I have a crusade to preach, which is one of my favorite things to do in ministry & what I’ve done is split up my preach on the 4 spiritual laws so that each of the boys preaches one of the laws & then I’ll finish off with the last 2 & do the salvation call. Should be fun. We did that kind of preaching – tag team – last Saturday night at the Butere Boy’s school – we taught on evangelism, the why’s of it – next will be the ‘how to’ part. Tag team preaching works well here as the listeners get a variety of speakers for not long & it keeps their interest. We’ve seen so many come to salvation, so rewarding!
I’m not sick of sunshine yet – the dust is bad, but rains have started each afternoon which is keeping it down somewhat. You blow your nose after being in the dust & it’s all black. We went last week to the city & the windows of the van/taxi were open & by the time we arrived, our clothes were brown! It’s a dirty place either way, dust or mud.
Please continue to pray for us – we have 4 more weeks in Kenya and then 2 in England. We thank the Lord for every opportunity He has given us & for His protection, provision & encouragement. We need His hand on us so much as we do the work He has called us to.
