Hello from Africa!
Today is day seven of our trip! We finished all we could do on the roof at the Kamuwongo New Life Church yesterday……a day early!! On Wednesday we held the first service in the church and Scott preached the very first sermon. It was awesome. We have decided his real calling is to Evangelism, as he inspired us all.
The team presented a guitar given by Ronney and Joan Smith to the Real Life Church. They did not have a guitar and were sooooooo thrilled to get this special gift. We also gave the children a jump rope…..you would have thought it was a trip to Disney World!!
Because we finished our church building on Tuesday, we were able to go out into the community of Kamuwongo on Wednesday morning. We went in small teams along with our wonderful interpreters. The really amazing thing is that we were able to share Christ with lots of the community and 30 people gave their lives to Jesus…..another really awesome experience for all of us.
Today we traveled back to Nairobi and settled into beautiful Brackenhurst…..a breath of fresh air especially to those of us who came in 2007. We spent the afternoon at Pastor Ben’s church located deep in the Kariabanga section of Nairobi. We saw the very beginnings of this church in 2007. Now it is a beautiful church surrounded by apartment buildings on every side. We were able to help paint the inside of the building. Tomorrow we will finish it ….what an absolute joy to work beside these wonderful brothers and sisters!!
We are all very tired, but happy. The long bus rides are challenging but give us opportunities to get to know each other. “Two truths and a lie” has become a favorite pastime. We learn some VERY interesting things about each other J Our bus driver, Peter, is the best…..puts New York cab drivers to shame! Traffic here is interesting, to say the very least.

Thanks for all your prayers. We are all fine…..wish all of you could be here with us.
Love to all of you from TeamAfrica09.

Happy Birthday Keri!!
