Relaxing Weekend

This weekend we did not do anything to crazy or busy. Yesterday I went to the center and meet with one of the ministers from Mountain Christian Church in Maryland for a little bit. It is incredible to hear how God has used that church to impact the community. They have been bring teams over since 2005. One of the team members that came along this time made a comment as have a few people in our group. He said that Bondeni has a different feel to it than the other slum communities. We had a couple of people with us who have said that they thought Bondeni was evil. I don't always notice it like that, but there is a definite need for us to bring the love of Christ to that community. I am thankful for the opportunity to come and serve, and to help share the light with those who's homes we enter. Alicia talked about having dinner with Josephine the other night. One of the things that she said that stuck with me was that she is convinced that when we set foot inside someone's house that we are bringing the light of life with us. They may not accept Christ, but Christ's light has been introduced to the house and that is something. It has been a blessing getting to spend time with people like this, and to be able to go into so many homes, and to think that God's lamp has at least shown in that house for a short time. Thank you for your prayers. Today Mary and Wallace brought back with them how much the Church family in America cares about and loves the people of Kenya. We hope that this may continue to grow and that we may continue to lift the people of the valley up in prayer so that God may shine His light in a great way here. We are so grateful that we get to be here and to experience all that God is doing.
