Well, the last
Pastor's Book Set was completed yesterday and once again
it was a tremendous blessing. The Kenyan pastors
were so appreciative and responsive to the teachings
about expository preaching. They thanked us over
and over again for opening up their eyes to a better way
to study the Scriptures and preach the Truth found
there, allowing Scripture to have it's own voice.
Then when they received their bookset of 60 books their
smiles lit up the already bright African day. God
is so good to us and He truly blessed both presenters
and recipients throughout our labor for His glory.

Last night, to
celebrate what the Lord has done, Fred, Joy, Lorna and I
went to the world famous Carnivore restaurant for
dinner. What a fun time we had. The menu
includes every kind of meat you can imagine, grilled
on skewers over a huge charcoal pit and sliced off right
on to your plate. On to my plate were sliced slabs
of ostrich, camel, crocodile, lamb, beef, pork, chicken,
turkey, pork ribs (my favorite) and ostrich meatballs (I
took a pass on the chicken livers). During the
meal African drums are beating and dancers are dancing
and the atmosphere is like a huge carnival. We had
a great time.

"Veggies? What're
veggies?" (I sure hope this meal
stays still on the flight home.) |
Today we
will tour the SIM offices and see some of the other
mission projects they are involved with, and then tomorrow
we will begin the journey home. I am anxious to
return and share more of what a tremendous blessing this
has been for us, and what a vibrant and God-centered
mission our gifts support. Fred and Joy are truly
making an impact for Christ Jesus even beyond what I had
imagined. I thank God for their labors for Him and
all the fruit that is so evident here.
Please pray
for safe travel for Lorna and me as we return.
Love in
Christ Jesus.
