Mission Korogocho: Nairobi, Kenya

Just finished our first day of teaching and crusade in the village. Yesterday was at once one of the most wonderful and wearisome days of my life. From a time of great worship and singing with a backdrop of giraffes, zebras, and gazelles and getting to overlook the great rift valley to a trip that we thought would take less than eight hours taking seventeen, the day was certainly something. But God is good. Even though we ran on about two hours of sleep today, all went well. The work here is very different than in the city. Conditions are spartan and we are taking part in "real missionary" conditions. The beautiful reception by the church leaders who were waiting for us to teach them was touching. They had waited a few hours for us, but were still very joyful, open, and received our teaching with gratitude. Wait till you see the picture of me on the back of a piki piki! 125 cc motorcycle taxis are all the rage... Pray that we will rest and know how to communicate what God has for us to share here.
