More excitement...more emotion !!!

Another exciting day! A missionary friend here in Nairobi picked us up and took us to their church service where her husband was preaching today. The order of service was similar to home, in fact some of the songs were ones we know. It was amazing to worship with these wonderful Kenyan people and share communion with them.

This afternoon was a rather emotional and enlightening experience which is difficult to put into words. We were driven into an area of extreme poverty, at least by Canadian standards. The garbage strewn streets were filled with thousands of people milling about. We were told "this is not a slum but a ghetto", so there are areas much worse, but we were certainly impacted by the conditions these people live in--unimaginable without seeing with our own eyes.

Some of you may recall prayer requests several years ago for a new Christian in Nairobi. This man had a severe leg injury. It was feared it would lead to an amputation. As we sat in a small "restaurant" a man came in who is a friend of our host. He joined us at our table and we were amazed to learn he was the man. Although quite lame, he walks and praises God for the miracle of his healing. He repeatedly thanked us for our prayers.

Tomorrow we start at NLH and are looking forward to cuddling babies and tending to their care.
Keep on remembering us in your prayers. Blessings.
