Wednesday we all
stayed at the Made in the Streets compound in Kamulu near Nairobi. I met with Maureen and all of our 24 WBS
follow-up workers all day. These workers
are the core of what God is doing here.
They visit WBS students to see how they are getting along, answer
questions, and baptize them when they are ready. They also help the new churches established
by our students to get started and stay healthy. Some of them also have responsibilities with
the orphanages we have established at the churches in their communities.
Wednesday morning, Pam and Susie went in town to visit the
Giraffe Center. They had a great
time. We also put Arnold on his plane to
Ghana, and Jeff worked all day with the kids at Made in the Streets doing automotive
work. Last night we treated everyone to
a movie, played from a projector and iPad that I brought, hooked up to a Kenyan
sound system. My skills are still sharp!
Today (Thursday), we wrapped up our meetings this morning
and after lunch went in town on the MITS bus to treat our workers to a special
surprise. We drove to the downtown Bata
store and bought all of them shoes. It
was so much fun to watch them shop and try on shoes, like kids in a candy
store. Don’t miss the pics below.
When they were done we dropped them at the bus terminal to
make their way home and we messed around Nairobi waiting to take Pam and Jeff
to the airport. Finally, after a meal at
Java House, we took them to Jomo Kenyatta International for their flights
home. Later we picked up my mother
Charlene, and daughter Morgan, to begin their week long adventure with us. Tomorrow I will meet with our name-getters
while Susie, Charlene and Morgan get to know the kids at Made in the Streets.

Thank you for the post... I, too, was having withdrawal aches from no posts. Loved seeing the happy workers! What a treat to be able to bless the "feet of those who bring good news!" Praying for Jeff & Pam's safe travel & for you & Susie as your journey continues. So happy that Morgan & Charlene have safely arrived! God bless you all!
It was very good to see the snaps today and know the WBS meeting went well. You, me and Maureen are the only ones who can truly appreciate the experience at the shoe store, I am glad you survived it. It is a memorable thing to be sure! Interesting new 'do' for Pam, I still can't figure out how you wash those things. Hope the Namegetters meeting goes well too. I am so glad to see the snap of your Mom and Morgan arriving and I know she is really happy to be with you and I am sure your Dad wishes he went too. Thanks for the post.
