Today was a typical Kenyan day! We expected to leave the farm at 8:30 and were picked up at about 9:45. Our driver took us all the way to Eldoret where we had been told there was a motorcycle parts shop that would have all the parts we needed to help two of our friends get their bikes back on the road in a safe condition. After driving for two hours, we learned that the shop that would best help us was back in Moisbridge – just 45 minutes from our farm! Upon returning to Moisbridge and locating the shop, we found it to be closed! While waiting for the owner to return we found another shop which had almost everything we needed and we finished our trip home for the day.
While in Eldoret we had the opportunity to meet up with Dawn’s friend, “Bones” who pastors an Africa Gospel Church (AGC) there. This was their second meeting and we were pleased to learn that he has been asked to accept a transfer to one of the AGC churches in Nairobi. It is a good opportunity for him and we will still be able to meet with him each time we wrap up our visits to Kenya and stop in Nairobi for the night.
But the best part about today was that our driver, Kilel, does not know Jesus and we had a captive audience for the drive to and from Eldoret. He told a troublesome story about how “the church” had imposed unreasonable standards on him when he was a child such as receiving a caning if he did not attend Sunday School!) We left him with one of our Bibles and a prayer that he will soon be attending church with his wife and children and worshipping our God.
