It has been a few weeks since I updated and I apologize, but I have been really moving around here in Kenya.
From November 14th through the 21st I was assigned to work with a team from Texas (Salem Lutheran Church) in Meru, Kenya (near Mt. Kenya). This team has been putting on eyeglass clinics in partnership with the the local congregations here. These clinics bring great exposer to the local Lutheran congregations as well as service the community. My job was to help determine where to send the patients and also to question them about their faith. All in all we saw 1700 people with 12 having come to faith in Christ. Praise the Lord!
Most recently I have been at a Mission Training Center (MTC) conference for MTC leaders in Atemo, Kenya (near Kisumu). It was great to meet a number of pastors in the ELCK. I even presented to them a doctrine book on the church that they'll be able to use in their classes. The main purpose of the MTC is to train evangelists to serve in their congregations. We also began discussing the future of the MTC program here in Kenya. Please keep these pastors and students in your prayers!
Peace from Kenya,
Jeff
