56 kids. Yes! At the 1st ICC-Kiserian church service last Sunday (6-27-10) Taylor, Amy Jo, and I taught children’s church where God completely surprised us with the turnout. We acted out David & Goliath, talked about Jesus as the shepherd, and sung lots of fun songs both in Swahili and English. All last week prior to the 1st service we worked moving huge rocks and inviting people to the church. So it was nice to see the fruit from our labor.
That’s a little recap on Kiserian, but what’s really been on my heart lately is the beauty of living in community. Yesterday my little sister/best friend had surgery in the States. I wanted to be there SO badly. The girls on this trip were amazing to me prior to, during and after the surgery. I couldn’t have asked for better support. Countless people prayed with me, some held me as I cried, and others just held my hand or scratched my back at various times. God definitely wanted me here in Africa this summer for many reasons, and I know one of them was to experience true community.
