Naomi’s Village Day 5 – Saturday, June 17
HUGE day filled with laughter, tears, joy and exhaustion.
Our team spent the first part of the morning talking about
the cultural difference between the Kenyan and American way of living life,
then reflected on Paul’s writings that tell us to win some (to Christ) we must
become like them. If we are ever
going to relate to the culture and people in Kenya, we must learn from them, be
like them and relate to them, then God can open up opportunities for the
Gospel. We practiced this all day
long. Thank you Lord for your
faithfulness to your people today.
Morning games, crafts and soccer with the little ones! 3 hours of it! We could not get enough of the laughter
and smiles we got to experience during this time. Face painting was the big hit, along with duck, duck, goose! Loved the time of investing in their
lives today.
Delicious lunch then we hiked 6 miles up 2000ft elevation to
Kijabe – yes – it was a hike to remember!
Not only was it a difficult stretch for the team, but the sights were
amazing! We ended up at Mark and Liz
Sisler home and they made us all kettle corn! So good, then Bob Mendonsa got a birthday wish my getting
drenched by water for a Naoimi’s Village tradition then sung to by the
kids. It was hilarious!
Bonfire was a fun dance party, filled with smores and
worship, ending with the guys and girls dividing up for hang out time. It was a long and amazing day to be
with these kids.
Worship in the morning then an afternoon of rest and
preparing for the rest of the week.
We miss you family and thanks for the prayers!
