Over this past weekend, Chris, Meshach (pastor we evangelize with in Kibera), myself, and one other person hosted a youth conference in the town of Kericho, where Kenya's tea is grown. There were several different churches, and a children's home, that brought their teenagers to the conference. There were only around 120 teenagers, but considering how rural the areas is, the number was really good.
We all spoke three different sessions. Some of the topics we covered were: relationships, deception of sin and the world, tribalism (this is huge in Kenya, yea in most of Africa), among other things. We had notes for the teachings and were able to leave them with the children. They were really receptive.
There was a church that we held the conference at. The pastor, as well as his eldership, were incredibly gracious to us and served us incredibly well. We were humbled with how well they treated us. The pastor has such a heart for teenagers, that he went to neighboring churches inviting their youth groups to come to the conference. We had a great time.
