Day 13 here in Kenya and it's hard to believe. Things have been going rather well and Youngsters for Christ Team has made our team very at home.
We've been busy too. We have visited a few high schools to do presentations, an out door outreach for a local church, and a little local evangelism. As I said before, all my free time has been spent giving guitar lessons to the YCT worship leaders. It's so awesome to see how God has taken a skill I gained in High school and used it here. The YCT worship team is currently learning "The Battle Belongs to the Lord", a song that really brings me back to my earlier days at Griffith First Christian Church.
The building is coming along well too :) We've been able to put in a stone wall that surrounds the base of the foundation. This is paramount as rainwaters can make slum structures wash away.
Continue praying for the construction of the center, there is still much to do! Also, please pray for our health. I've had many small challenges these last two weeks that slowed me down, from a twisted ankle to a persistent head cold. I do thank God though that the health challenges have all been minor.
To close out this email I just want to say that I'm learning so much. I'm so thankful to serve here and I can't wait to share more with all of you when I return. Every day our team has stories to tell, from people coming to know Christ after a conversation on the street to discussions about a part of the world we'd never thought we'd see.
Pokea Furaha!
