Over the past weekend we had a staff gathering at the house. The people who are a part of the ministry team that go with us in the three different slums, teach at the bible colleges, their wives, children, and the staff who are at the house with their families all got together. This was a really special treat for them and I thought it was a really great gesture on Chris and Lindy's part. An act like this really shows them that we love them and it made them feel really special. You could see the look in their eyes and how excited they all were. I didn't take many pictures and was never around Shauna so I didn't even have any of her.
These are two of the most amazing men I have met since being here. Their hearts for God and the people they live amongst is incredible. The man on my left is Vitalis and he has a church in Kasarani where I go doing evangelism on Wednesdays. He also teaches at Berith Bible College with the man on my right who is pastor Indiazi. Pastor Indiazi has a church and lives in Kibera where we go do evangelism on Thursdays.
This is Brian and he is the son of a woman who works at Pastor Indiazi's house. He is a really amazing young man. Before Chris and Lindy came, he and his family were living in very bad conditions and his mother had a very low paying job. As God has worked, their family is much better off today and continuing to get better. I am totally "cheezing" in this picture but I wanted to include one of him.
Hi Rich and Shauna -
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your great blog. Glenn and I live vicariously through your reports, and we can't wait to get back to Nairobi. We're so glad that you are getting to spend time at Livingstone House, and to work with all of the great people there in Nairobi. We're looking forward to meeting both of you (although we feel like we know you already). In the meantime, please continue with your blog. We LOVE hearing from you. Sally C.
