Here is an update from Stephen Murray who will be serving in East Africa one month:
Awesome day today. Started off giving my host families boys a cinnamon
roll from the restaurant last night, which they were psyched about. The
boys were also watching teenager mutant ninja turtles this morning
which was great.
When we got to the village I got to lead worship with our translator who happens to be a very talented musician. It is great to find such great friendships and connections over here.
We then moved on to another house visit thence and whereupon I
successfully carried a 50 kilo bag of Taft to it's final destination.
Success!!! We spent a good while on the visit. One mother insisted on
giving us a coffee ceremony which is a great honor. People here show
their appreciation in the most beautiful ways. When you visit their
house they insist on sitting lower than you. The guards at the guest
house clean your shoes of the mud from the day purely out of respect and
the desire to serve. I pray that I learn how to serve while I am here.
We also visited the alert hospital so the team could go
shopping. Please keep us all in your prayers as we continue to minister
to these children and the missionary families. Pray that God will
present us with opportunities to influence the children of the village
and pray we will take every opportunity he gives. Pray that we will do
our duty in serving these long term workers, and pray we will always
give God the glory.
