- We worshipped with our brothers and sisters today at Bahati Martyrs church. It was an incredible experience of praise, prayer, and celebration ... it was an Encounter! I am sure the others will share more about it later.
- The technical transmission did not go perfectly. But God is good and we hope you still enjoyed it and were blessed! The fact we were able to transmit anything was a miracle given 1) there is not a single fiber optic cable in this country (they are getting it this year) 2) the electricity went out in the middle of the service and we switched to a manual generator with no lights in the church (a common occurrence with Kenya electricity) and 3) the transmission point for uploading the video file was fluctuating like the stock market in terms of capacity and power. Three cheers to Heather Bass for pulling a McGyver and doing what she did!
- We had a great meeting with the Session of the church to discuss the next steps in the project. They will be a good partner for Colonial Global Oprhan Project.
- Finally, we did a quick safari at the Nairobi National Park and saw the basic wildlife until we were leaving at dusk ... we saw four lions, including a large male who was resting alongside the road less than 6 feet from our vehicle. It was phenomenal! Golden got some great pictures and we will post them in the slideshow tomorrow.
Blessings and peace to our friends and friends. We appreciate your prayers and encouragement during our journey.
Until Malawi,

ReplyDeleteThe shared worship from Bahati was a SPECTACULAR blessing for us in KC - Jim's message was available in audio for the 8:00 Quivira service and in full and clear video by 9:15 - great job Heather!! Pastor Bob also sends his thanks for this blessing as he was standing by to step in if needed!
We are ready as the Church to be used by God to restore His shalom in every human heart and can see His work clearly underway in Kenya - thank you, Pastor Jim, for telling this story to so many who can now see God's fingerprints over many years on this field of God where 240 young people will be shown His love in a tangible way! Praise the Lord!
Love,
Scott & Lynn
Wow, how incredible to follow your faith walk.

What an exciting blogging experience for me - reading about God's faithfulness in working through Colonial's team, getting technology to work its way to Colonial's Sunday service, lessons learned, lessons to be taught, adventures, and a future filled with God's love for many orphaned African children.
ReplyDeleteAs I read through the blogs, I thought of the many sacrifices the team and Colonial have made to make this orphanage a possibility. And, I was reminded of the fact that my grandmother was raised in an orphanage in Ireland. What if no one had reached out a hand to help her? Thank you for all you're doing to make a difference. Take care and God bless. Love, Terry and Jim
