We arrived without incident. After clearing immigration, there is an anxious time when you don't know if your luggage will be there. Nairobi is a long way, and three flights give a lot of opportunity for loss. But all was there and we made the drive to Kamulu. We went strait to bed as most of us had not slept in 30 hours or so.
This morning we worshiped with the Made in the Streets folks here at Kamulu. They are wonderful people here. We renewed friendships with many folks, some WBS students, and others that we had met on previous trips. Larry Johnson was there, the former Odessan who has lived in Kenya for 24 years, it was good to see him.
Francis preached in Swahili, and so they assigned us a made in the streets kid as a translator. John and I shared the services of Titus, a young man that was very polite and helpful. Later they told us that he was one of the wildest kids that they have ever successfully saved from the slums of Nairobi. It reminded me that God works in small ways in people's lives all over the world. We may never know all of the amazing work that His Holy Spirit has been doing across the millennia until His return. Amazing.
We were also visited by Simon, who is our WBS worker in Nairobi. He's a great guy that is fairly new to WBS, but has been indispensable to us during our trials at the orphanage in Gilgil. He sends his greetings to all at GCR and his thanks for supporting the work in Kenya.
Later we'll go see some of the MITS locations here and preview the potential orphanage site that is here. Tomorrow we make the long drive to Eldoret to begin our tour of the orphanages.
