On 28 June 2009 we traveled to the northernmost part of the Kenya East Territory. We had conducted a divisional review the day prior at Meru. We specialled at the Isiolo Corps. As we drove from Meru to Isiolo we went over the crest of a hill and moved from a green agricultural area to a very arid place. We saw some huge catii on the side of the road. About 20km of the road was under construction and it was like driving over an old fashioned washboard.
There was a wonderful spirit at the corps and they gave us a very warm welcome (beyond the fact that it was about 97 degrees at noon that day). Needless to say, I didn't wear my tunic. The area is very poor as it hasn't rained in over a year and agriculture provides about the only income possibility.

It was joy for me to see what is happening there and what you do for God's kingdom. I loved to see people praising with such a passion.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I thought -at ICO- that you had a heart and passion for missions beyond measure. It was far more than wearing indigenous clothing during special ocassions, I was sure of that.
And there you are, living and acting in a different world setting, but in God's same mission.
Experiencing life and mission and even greater results with meager resources is part of God's miracle. But showing the world that, it make us all to be more proactive of a lifestyle that enrichens others making us givers of resources or of our own lives on behalf of others.
Even pushing a car is something that makes you be thankful in a developing nation, at least we have ONE to work with :)
greetings from another joyful servant and car pusher...
