I have always been someone who believed that you could be a World Christian by praying through news stories. That has become very real to me as I sit in a dangerous part of Nairobi. Our friends and family at home are hearing about the pirates on the coast of Kenya. Our friends here are talking about how the activity on the coast has a direct effect on the influence of Christ in this nation. There is fear, there is a strong Muslim influence, made stronger each day, there is corruption. We are certainly not in danger as long as we stay with a national. However, we have been told that in traffic to keep our arms in the car and our bags under our feet. On Tuesday night we were with the Compassion Staff and our driver told us to lock our doors because he was one man with so many women and he did not have a machete. As you hear about violence and danger in the world please think about your brothers and sisters in Christ that are trying to bring peace and trying to make a difference.
On a lighter note......being a good team leader I brought several packages of paper toilet seat covers for Regina and Carolyn. The problem is there are no toilet seat covers in the public restrooms. Hakuna Matata!
There is no concept of low carb eating here, and bread is not bread unless it is fried but there are not as many weight issues. Hmmmm.
