Convos in the Market

We have been in Kitale, Kenya for two days now. This trip is seeming very different from other ones in a very good way. We have been moving easily between our AIC and LCM friends. We were at the African Inland Church yesterday and we just finished a very productive time with Pastor John and Jane. I am optimistic that all the misunderstandings of previous trips have begun to help Pastor John to grow.

Pastor Titus visited us at the farm this morning. He very much wanted to show Dawn his motor bike. He asked us to pray with him the last trip that some how he could come by a motor bike to help with transport. Dawn prayed with him while at a funeral. Not long after a guy who isn't a believer came to Titus saying 'I want to sell you my motor bike'. Titus said "wow but I can't pay for it." The guy said "you pay me each month". Titus has only 8000 ksh left to go. We now how pictures of the bike that prayer brought!

Please join Pastor Titus in believing God to provide the balance to pay off his motorcycle, and also that God will continue giving him opportunities to use it to bless others as well as his own ministry.

We spent some time in the Sibanga market yesterday. We didn't really plan that but we had some down time and Dawn baited me with going to get a Coke. I really enjoy my daily Kenya Coca cola. So on the lane from Zippy's house we met Keffa. It was obvious that Keffa had been drinking most of the day. He asked for 20 kshs. From what we have learned through our church in the Short North we knew we could not make it that easy on Keffa. We invited Keffa to go to the market with us. We spent some time talking with Keffa getting to know him. We fed him and had him join us for a soda. Meanwhile we attracted quite a crew of other drunks. Dawn is so good at just diving in and challenging them. Some of the conversations we look forward to continuing when these guys are in a better position to understand. For Keffa, he seemed to appreciate that we took an interest in him. Pastor John had a conversation with him. We will be praying for Keffa to make some permanent changes.

So we are well and appreciating our time. No agenda!! Rolling where ever God sends us. And getting rest. I got a good 8 hours last night - haven't done that in some time.

Dawn is wandering so I will close. talk soon. ec
