Today we had the pleasure of hearing the word from Pastor Tim at the Kosovo center in Mathare. As he spoke of the journey of life, with all it's turns and surprises, we were assured that God already knows the road we travel; all we need to do is trust Him.
Bwana asifiwe... Amen, BWANA ASIFIWE.... AAAAAMEN !
With every "praise God" the whole congregation young and old, moved their feet, legs, hips, arms head, weaves... And hair, singing/shouting worshiping with their entire being. Our one step to the left- clap -one step to the right- clap, just didn't seem to cut it. Many of us were taken over by the Holy Spirit and joined in with our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, while others of us continued to rejoice inwardly. After much discussion tonight, we praise God for the opportunity to experience worship through the Kenyan spirit. As we are inspired to introduce some new worship techniques back home, we are reminded that our culture is very different from theirs. And what a joy it is to know that no matter where we are in our spiritual journey (mentally or physically) God will always rejoice when we rejoice, no matter how big or small, fast or slow, coordinated or uncoordinated, our steps are :)
We close tonight by sending much love and prayers back home to our families and friends! This trip would not have been the same without all our support from home. We also encourage you to continue to pray for Missions of Hope and the work that God is doing in Mathare.
Now into the wild we go!
