I already miss the Challenge Farm kids from Kenya! I got to spend 2 days in Nakuru with one of my besties, Amanda, from D Squad. Then we headed to Nairobi for month 8 debrief. There were many tears shed, many laughs, and God's revealed a lot of cool stuff to me about the future 🙂 We also ran a disgusting 5k, the "Allan Boehm 'This Ain't No Game' Milk and Cookies Memorial Run" and I successfully completed the task of drinking a liter of milk, eating 16 gross cookies, and running a 5k, all without puking.
Then our journey began from Kenya to Tanzania…
I had a lady's butt on me for 6 hours!!!!
Travel buddy: total stranger, Miss New Booty. I found you!
The inside was painted a weathered Tiffany's blue.
Windows were just big holes on the wall, through which the children outside played peek-a-boo with me, popping up and down with their beautiful smiles and heavenly giggles.
There were no pews or chairs, but merely sand on the ground.
The stage was small, just a raised cement step at the front.
There were no paintings, no banners, no decorations, yet it was beautiful. The only attention-catcher was the thick presence of the Holy Spirit, blowing through the room.
There was no sound system, for it is not needed here.
There was no lights show, for it is not needed here.
People just come to church because they realize they need God.
It's not about the building at all.
This is my beautiful church in Tanzania:
