 Tuesday,
April 21th
We are still struggling with the internet
connection but here is a message from
Steve:
Yesterday we took a three-hour
trip to Nyahururu and completed most
of the two classrooms, which included
mounting the mubati (corrugated steel)
on the frame and painting the window
frames. Today we put the rest of the
screws in the mubati, mounted the blackboard,
and cleaned the windows.
We then took
side trips to the escarpment overlooking
the Rift Valley and Thompson Falls
(called T-Falls by the locals) and
similar to
T-Falls in Ithaca only bigger. We then
did crafts and played with the kids
and dedicated the classrooms. The "mamas" prepared
four meals and two chai breaks showing
tremendous hospitality. The kids were
great and very friendly.
On the way back
we stopped at the equator for a group
picture.

Devotion
for Tuesday
We will finish up the school, celebrate its dedication
and return to Kikuyu for the night. This trip will call the team
to “let go” of some things- the comforts of home,
a predictable environment, the desire to be our own boss. Henry
Davi said, “It is only by forgetting yourself that you can
draw near to God.”
Ask God to show us how to forget ourselves
and draw near to Him.
Pray for Pam D. specifically
today. Bonus Devotion for Tuesday
Often educated people fall into the deception
of believing that because they “know” more they
are wiser. You will find among the people in Kenya a simple
faith. During our time in Kenya, ask yourself in what ways people
of simple faith might teach those of us who have much education?
“For God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God’s
weakness
is stronger than human strength.” (I Corinthians 1:25)
Pray for godly wisdom as you seek
to understand God’s Word and follow Christ faithfully.
