Sabbath - Oct 20

We headed out bright and early for Sabbath School and Church near KMQ just past Kajiado. We bumped down a dirt road, through a dried river bed and up a slight hill to the base of a small mountain (depending where you live it could be a hill) Sabbath School was in a small church made of metal sheets with wooden benches. When Sabbath School was over we headed up the mountain side (the climb was about 1/2k) and hiked for about 5k before coming to a little church meeting area under a tree with no leaves for shade. The temp. was about 90 and we were lucky for the few clouds that floated over. The church members showed us the church they were building that had two walls completed, but still needed the rest of the walls, roof and floor. They pleaded with us to help them raise the money to complete the church - so I am throwing it to you - ANYONE INTERESTED? (just a couple of hundred would do the job!)

Jan preached the sermon and Patrick translated. I got to sit on a bench and amuse all the small children as they felt my hands and bare fit and played with my hair. About 1:30 we headed back down 5k to the village below to enjoy a meal of chapatis and stew inside a manyatta. After lunch we visited for a while before heading back home - tired, sunburned, dirty, but spiritually satisfied. What a blessing it was to worship God out in nature and see the Maasai people who are so thirsty for God that they will travel from any distance by foot to meet together and share His love regardless of the building they have or don't have to meet in.
