Things are progressing well here in Kenya. Today wraps up our ‘official’ time of Kenyan ministry training for the students. Although learning and training never really stops, we will be in full swing regarding the regular schedule come Monday. Even as I type this, the team is out participating in door-to-door visitation.

Tomorrow we depart and journey to Kijabe, somewhat of an oasis here in Kenya, for a bit of a break and re-commissioning. We are excited to make it there as the water can be consumed straight from the tap and the air is not quite as foul, lacking the dense smog and dust found here in the slums.

I am sorely losing the fight with the mice at this point as so many triggerings has rendered it only moderately accurate. However, at some point I am assuming the mice will be too large to move around quickly from the tremendous amounts of peanut butter they have assimilated.

Tonight will be spent with the students from the orphanage just down the road. Our team has adopted a student each from the orphanage and will be spending time with them weekly. This particular evening allows a meal to be shared with them as well as the Kenyan tradition of opening our home and fellowshipping with dear friends. We look forward to this time bringing a suitable influence and touch of mentorship to the students who are otherwise lacking such a friendship.

We continue to see small divine appointments as we go about our days here. To God be the glory. The community has been wonderfully welcoming to our presence and equally so with the Gospel. Many have been touched and this is even without us officially going out with that purpose. I long for our time to begin actively pursuing the needy this coming week and beyond. May our King be praised as we carry His light high upon the hills here in the slums!
