Kenya / Sudan Team Tour

Feb 28 – Walking Days

I expect that the next few days will involve us listening and seeing. Our family in Africa has a different approach to this kind of a thing than we do. In our minds, a good thing to do while we are there is provide a training on the western way of thinking about something or maybe build a building for one of their ministries. While these things might possibly be helpful, we will be invited to a ministry of presence. They understand something that we lose sight of here in the west and that is how rich a gift of love it is to simply be present together. On our tour card for these days is the orphanage, the slum and the community school, and Mavuno Downtown which is a sister church of MVC in Nairobi.

Pray that my sprit might slow down enough that I might be able to listen to the Holy Spirit in the words and the faces of the people that I see. Pray that I might be attentive to what it is that Father wants to do in me. May the people I encounter feel the depth of God’s love for them in my bearing.
