Today we started by meeting with a good brother Pastor George. We know him from our time in Sibanga with the Liberty Christian Ministries. George has recently made the difficult decision to leave his family in Cheringoni to come to Nairobi for work in his carpentry trade. His fourth child arrived on Monday and he is yet to see her.
Ever since I first met Pastor George the one thing I always knew was that he has always responded to the Holy Spirit working in his life. As he shared with us today I knew the same thing was true about him and this move to Nairobi. Although he is separated from his family for a while he is making a better way for them in the future. When he brings his family to Nairobi he will leave a brother in Christ access to his farm thereby making his life better as well.
Pastor George has no doubt that he will resume his ministry work here in Nairobi. He has a heart for young people here and he wants to use the sharing of his trade as a way to share the gospel. He hopes to take a few university courses that will get him certified with the Kenya government so he can offer this program for youth.
It was a blessing to see Pastor George making good yet difficult choices to improve the quality of life for his family. George has much to offer and a really big heart for God and His people. We enjoyed a great prayer time with George before we had to say good bye.
As we have been waiting for a response to see an attorney here we have had to kill some time. We made a trip to the Westlands today to a huge market of shops that sell Masai art. I will never do well with the barter system but Dawn made out real well and almost enjoys the act of barter too much. I think at the end of the day the shop owners and the shoppers did ok.
