We hardly can find the words to describe our time with the Widows in Majengo. We have some kind of special connection with these women. You should hear them sing! It’s deeply moving and it sounds like angels are singing. They are mostly old women so their song selections are […]
Remember when I said that “Divine appointments seem to be looking for us?” Ever since we decided to give up a day of rest to minister to the YWAM base in Mombasa, we have been “under the spout where the Glory comes out”. After we arrived in Kisumu on the […]
Report on Valerie’s Jaw: We want thank all of you who have been asking about and praying for Valerie’s jaw. While we were at her father’s funeral several weeks ago she bit down on some food and experienced some excruciating pain in the joint of her jaw. We thought it […]
Val and I spent the day today watching the kids from our slum school compete in a district sports tournament. Our Lenana “Rhinos” took the first place trophies in Volleyball and in Netball. They also came in second in Soccer and Handball. The school came out in force. Several hundred […]
