Interview with John, our Maasai Translater
Friends:
After some 25 hours of air travel and 10 hours of wandering in the Dallas and London airports, we finally arrived in Nairobi, Kenya. Leaving the airport and on the way to Bruce and Kate Dahlman (my cousin and his wife, our hosts for the next several weeks), we noticed a large plane surrounded by Kenyan police and military guards. The president of Iran had arrived to meet with political leaders here, and we managed to land at the same time.
Kenya is a land of contrasts. Within just several blocks, there are Presbyterian, Assemblies of God, Baptist, and Quaker churches, but add to these a Muslim mosque and training school. Even as we enjoyed a Kenyan cappuccino (decaf!) at an outdoor cafe, you heard the prayers of Islamic devotees broadcast throughout the neighborhood.
Tomorrow we spend preparing for a two day adventure in the bush...a genuine "in the rough" camping trip arranged by the Masai believers. We will meet in local homes, and show the Jesus film in a village meeting. We've brought New Testaments and dozens of Arobies...the flying frisbee-type toy which our family has enjoyed for years.
Sunday and Monday we will visit Masai game park.
Since we will be out of internet range over the next few days, please pray for:
Continued health and physical protection as we travel
God-arranged connections with the right leaders
Spiritual fruit among the tribal people
We received a number of very encouraging words over the last several weeks. Themes emerged from diverse groups...but all harmonius. A summary:
Everywhere our feet would step the Lord would be present to affect the people and the land.
You will bring Father’s love. The countries you visit will have a home you will call your own.
Two are better than one.
It is our prayer and belief that these promises are yours as well.
Bless you!!!
