My Journal

At the invitation of Pastor David, I travelled to the village of Nakechichok for a few days to help in a camp meeting at this church.<br /><br />I taught 4 times, preached once. He taught 3 times...all in 3 days! It was a great time with this sweet church.<br /><br />One of the surprises that came the reaction from the church when I preached on tithing Sunday morning. They applauded! I have never seen such joy, excitement, and praise in a tithing message before! It was AWESOME! <br /><br />They also presented me with a goat and several baskets to show their love and appreciation for me coming to help. <br /><br />If there ever was a church in Turkana like the churches of Macedonia Paul wrote about in Corinthians, who knew great grace, who first gave themselves to the Lord, I believe it is Nakechichok Landmark Baptist Church.<br /><br />I am thankful God has allowed me the priviledge to know them, love them, and serve Him along side them.<br /><br />Much Love,<br />Ekiru

This is awsome...can you have someone take a pic of you with the baskets and send it to me to use on the thank-you notes? Praying for all, sf

I'm not Mormon (I'm pretty sure you know that) but that manizage cover is disrespectful and would be whether it was Mormon, Catholic, Baptist, Muslim and so on. (except for Scientology, they're fair game). (That was rude. I apologize to the Scientologists)
