After a week filled with long days, it was great to be able to sleep in a little today and not have a full press schedule. We went in to Nakuru to worship at Trinity Vineyard Nakuru, where Tom Wolff preached as guest pastor filling in for Edgar King. The attendance is about 80% Kenyan and 20% foreign. Tom gave a great testimony sharing how he and Cindy came to the Lord and challenged us to examine ourselves and our own personal relationship with Jesus. That’s the most important question we will ever have to answer: when Jesus asks you why He should let you in to heaven, what will you say? The worship team did a great job of leading us in songs in both English and Swahili, and we shared communion. We had a great social time after the service. It was great seeing some friends we hadn’t seen in a year (although with social media, we have contact throughout the year).
Following the social time, we had a great lunch with some of our Kenyan friends at a local restaurant that serves a mix of Kenyan and Indian dishes, followed by our daily visit to Java House before returning to home away from home: Tumaini. We spent the later afternoon enjoying time with some of the kids various team members sponsor at the local boarding school, giving us time to further connect with them and enjoy some sports and games. It was a great restful afternoon of fellowship and fun. Tomorrow, there are three different activities going on: Tom and Mark will be doing pastoral training at Tumaini for 26 pastors and vision and construction teams will be headed out again. It’s going to be another full day!
