Thursday - October 23

As those of you know who are administrators, conflict management is often a part of the job, whether we like it or not. A few days ago I met with one of our workers, who made some very serious allegations against our project coordinator in Kajiado District. In the meantime, I began receiving phone calls from previous MDP workers, they too were making insinuations against the coordinator. Oh, for the wisdom of Solomon. Today we began our investigation, after spending hours in prayer asking that God would reveal the truth beyond a shadow of doubt.

The afternoon was spent with our coordinator. As I began listening and putting things in prospective, I began looking for a common denominator from each of the accusers: 1. They were all from the same home area. 2. They had either been fired for dishonesty or sneaking away from their station of duty without notifying the coordinator and turning in false reports. 3. They quit because they did not want to be accountable.

Our Administrator and I left to go back to Nairobi, with convictions of our coordinators innocense but knew that we had to continue the investigation so there could be no question. We will continue our investigation in a couple of days.

We met with the ECD Treasurer, Philip Philipson to discuss the challenges of the work in Maasailand. What a blessing it is to have the support of our church brethern as we continue to go forward with the work
