Build a relationship with God - Commit in service to God - Introduce others to God
Mission trip to Kenya and Uganda from March 31 to April 16, 2019. Traveled to 9 different locations. Taught every day except one.
On Friday, March 29, 2019 I flew to the city of Nairobi in Kenya, Africa. I arranged a very ambitious itinerary where I would be teaching God’s Word for 16 of the 17 days I would be there, at 9 different locations. God far and above exceeded all of my expectations. This is the first …
I touched down in Nairobi, Kenya on Saturday at 7:00 pm their time. Three wonderful Christian believers greeted me when I walked out of the airport. They escorted me to my hotel. I struggled to sleep through the night (a combination of excessive street noise, people talking out loud and jet lag). But I managed …
Early Monday morning we made the 4 ½ hour journey to Segera Mission. As we traveled, I witnessed many sheep, goat and cow herders. There were also an abundance of sheep, goats and cows grazing near the road with no owner in sight. My driver assured me that each of these ‘stray’ animals did have …
We’re driving away from Segera mission. The road contains lots of sharp rocks and our back left tire goes flat. So we stop and exchange it for the spare. Problem solved. We drive a little further and our spare goes flat. This IS a problem. Nationwide may be on our side, but I am not …
I am a big sports fan. And I knew that Kenya was famous for its distance runners. My primary goal for being in Kenya, and only goal really, was to minister the truth of God’s Word to those people who are hungering for truth. But while I was here in Kenya, in the back of my mind, I …
I spent three days at the Kimaeti church. When I arrived at the home where I would be staying, which was near the church, I was greeted by about ten pastors. They were all excited to see me. We met in the living room and shared hearts with one another. I shared about why I …
Praise and worship is much different in Kenya than in the USA. It was especially exciting to watch at the church in Kimaeti. As the music is played, many people dance. It took me a while to get used to it. But now I have come to expect it and really enjoy it. They dance …
In the late afternoon each day while in Kimaeti, we had a crusade. Prior to coming to Kenya, I didn’t know what a crusade was. Isaac insisted that we have one during each of the 3 days I would be in Kimaeti. He also preferred that we have one at every place we went, where …
I have now completed eight days on the mission field. Every single day God has gone way and above my expectations. To use a baseball analogy, every day had been a home run. But life is not always going to be home runs. Days nine and ten on the mission field would bring about my first setback. But in …
We all know how important water is. We have to drink it to survive. We cook with it, wash our bodies with it, wash dishes with it, do our laundry with it. Most importantly, we drink it. What you may not know is how much work many of the people in Kenya go through in order to get …
