KENYA WITHOUT AN AGENDA
Our past visits have always included a "major production" such as a crusade or a leadership conference. As a result we have not always focused on the more important aspect of building individual relationships in Kenya. To that end, this trip has no agenda and no event. Our schedule has been placed in the hands of Pastor Isaac Gikonyo of the Africa Inland Church (AIC) and Pastor John Nabruk of Liberty Christian Ministries (LCM).



Once we land in Kitale on Saturday we will join them for tea at our old "haunt", the Iroko Restaurant, and learn their plans for helping us develop the deep personal relationships we believe God desires for us to experience in community whether that is in Ohio or half way around the world in Kenya. Please check back daily for updates to this blog site!

In the meantime, please pray for us in the following areas:

• find the answer to the quesiton, "Why Kenya?" (why we are drawn back time and again)
• to see the hearts of the people with whom we interact (discerning attempts to distract us)
• to do LOTS more listening than talking
• for every speaking opportunity to be 100% God and 0% us

Practice posting...bear with me!

The road to Sibanga is really the lane to Mama Zippy's farm! It's a peaceful walk before we get to the hustle and bustle of the marketplace.

Ellen works hard on our Kenya trips!

Dinnertime in 2009

Dinnertime at Mama Zippy's home is an olympic event. Those who sit closest to her must be quick or they will find extra helpings of food on their plates!
