Greetings from Kenya! Praise God that we have made it safe. After about a total of 3 days of travel we
made it to Lodwar. Lodwar is not an easy
place to get to. We took a 9 hour bus
ride jammed packed with people over the most horrendous washed out road to the
northwest desert
of Kenya. The sun shines brightly everyday with
temperatures passing 100 degrees and cooling down at night to 80.
We, my team and team Quake, are staying with Missionary John
who is a born and raise Turkana (the people group here). Missionary John has planted 10 churches
through out the area and we have the privilege of coming along side him in his
work. So far we have done hut to hut
evangelism and played with kids from an orphanage. Six of us, me included, will be giving the
sermon in six separate churches this Sunday.
Since we are on a mission trip it is assumed by the people here that we
have extensive biblical knowledge and are prepared to give multiple hour
sermons. I wonder if I can even talk for
an hour straight without my voice going out.
God’s strength not mine.
The conditions are hard here but the people are
wonderful. It is a joy to be greeted
with so many smiles
and warm hearts. The people of Kenya are so hungry for the bread
of life and I have already learned a lot from their faith. They regularly pray for miracles here because
often times that is their only option.
I have limited access to the internet. But I do hope to update you with more
stories.
Blessings.
