| Jambo family and friends!
Know that you are all missed and
thought about often. We've been really busy but are glad to get a break
to connect with you all.
We are in DAY THREE of the OCM Conference in Nakuru.
Each day we have been ministering with the OCM pastors, Gerald teaches
each morning and we all lead small groups. A bunch of us have also
shared our testimonies. In the afternoon we go into the market, set up
a stage and along with the OCM team, worship and teach from the Bible.
Kenyan people from all around the market gather to dance, sing, and
listen to the Word of God.
All of us have had the
opportunity to talk with adults, teenagers and goof around with all of
the kids. A couple of us have a little posse of kids who follow us
around everywhere :)
When we get back to the Farmer's
Guesthouse, there are often a bunch of kids sitting outside waiting for
us to come play with them. We've learned their names and taught them
songs like "lift Jesus higher" and "God made all of us"
Thanks for your prayers, thoughts and support. It's difficult to be away from you all during the Christmas season, but it's really special for us to share the love of Christ- ESPECIALLY during this holiday.
MUCH MUCH love from Africa,
Kenya Team '06

| Last night was some wondrous team bonding as we piled six girls on one couch at the Ogoli's house.
The rest of our team scattered around the living room. Dr. David Ogoli and his wife, Iris welcomed the team into their apartment for some AUTHENTIC KENYAN food. The Ogoli family is from Kenya and Dr. Ogoli was on a team to design a couple skyscrapers lining the skies of Nairobi. He told us all about what to expect when we arrive from the mannerisms of the people(abnormally long handshakes) to the weather. He even taught us some Swahili: Jambo- hello Rafiki- friend Simba- Lion (we pretty much discussed "The Lion King") The only way to do dinner for guests in Kenya is to welcome them with a FEAST. We had Ugali (thick porridge), Chipotti bread, rice and chicken, beef and veggies, Fried Plantanes, Pineapple and ended the meal with dessert- Mindazi (fried pastry) MMMMMMMmmmmmmm more training today and then tomorrow......we're off! | | |
