Every day Monday through Friday we host a one hour prayer meeting during the lunch hour at the church building in the marketplace. Two or three days a week we teach moral lessons in the public and private schools. The government of Kenya requires moral lessons which allows us to teach Bible lessons to the children. We work with children from the age of 7 to the age of 14. When the gather the children together for moral lessons, each class I’ve taught has had about 70-75 students crammed into the classroom. At the conclusion of Friday’s class I learned a new VBS style song that includes He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands mixed in along with another song about how wonderful God is to the Macarena motions. It was hilarious!
We are meeting people in the streets as they travel home from work to invite them to church Sunday. It seems that Mzungus (Swahili term for white foreigners) are a big hit and we’ve had several visitors come to services to see what is happening. We have had some wonderful home visitations and some door to door opportunities as well. People here are very open to hearing more about the gospel. We have loved having so many chances to teach Bible lessons to people of all ages and to meet so many wonderful people. Kenyans are such hospitable people!
We have a tremendous blessing of such varied ministry this month. We are busy and loving it! Due to some security concerns, we try to be discreet when choosing to carry around a camera. I’m hoping we can take more photos in the coming weeks that will more clearly share the experience with you. There’s so much more to share-this only scratches the surface.
The sweetest, happiest girl in all of Kenya and we get to live with her (and her parents too)!
