Women in rural Kenya

Jambo Friends
Today I went together with a friend to a rural area in Kenya, not too far from

Tanzania. My friend is a social worker and visits this area frequently. On one of her trips she got to know an older lady who converted from the prominent religion to become a follower of
the Way. Her husband deserted her for her choice. She has poor eye sight since birth. Many trips to the witch doctor didn't help. Her legs bear the marks of the crucial treatment she underwent. Today she testifies freely: "God can heal me if He wants, but even when He chooses not to heal me I will not turn back, I follow Him!" This is remarkable! We prayed and fellowshipped together, how sweet.


She invited her"girl friends" to meet us. I could share some things God has and is teaching me. We brought  maize flour, clothing, shoes and lolly pops  as gifts with us. Children, women and men alike loved them.


For the young girls we has special gifts too, which they appreciated very much. Enjoy the glimpse into African rural living! Karibu!
