Day 15 - Hanging Around Sibanga

Today was a beautiful day in Sibanga! After breakfast, Zippy took us to Imani Sirwo AIC church with her. The children were in VBS last week so today was their day to share memory verses and sing songs they had learned. It was BEAUTIFUL!!! The message was a tag team effort by a husband and wife duo that helped spearhead the VBS activity in the Sibanga area. They want churches to focus on children ages 4 through 14 as the most formative for early spiritual development.


At the conclusion of the service, Pastor Isaac Gikonyo and his wife Grace invited us to their home for lunch. We were treated to stew, rice, vegetables, and chipati (a kind of fry bread). We took time to share our vision for the work of RUN in Kenya, and Isaac was very excited about the potential!

The ladies of Liberty Christian Ministries had asked to have some time with us so we met them early this evening. We were very eager to share with them our discovery about the tabletop banking group, Visionary Women’s Organization, and arrange a time for a couple of their representatives to meet with some representatives of the Sibanga women. This is going to take place on Tuesday.

After cooking our dinner for us last night, Zippy decided we needed to eat out this evening so she took us to her Kitale Club were Ellen and I both chowed down on a VERY tasty filet mignon! We’re back at the farm now and exhausted as the week’s activities catch up to us. But we’re looking forward to whatever God has in store for the rest of our time in Sibanga.
