This week I had an opportunity to go to my first wedding here in Kenya…It was an interesting experience… It is very common here to start your wedding ceremony 2, 3 or even 4 hours late, so… instead of starting it at 11.00 we started at 1.30 pm. The whole ceremony took 12 hours and was held in different places. By the end of the day we were very tired…It looks like our church is entering a wedding season, we are going to have another wedding at our church this coming Saturday, and also next Saturday I was invited to sing worship at another wedding…Such an exciting time!!! Why I say that… is because many people here just come together and live as husband and wife without even getting married… it's the “Come and stay” life-style, as we call it. The sinful relationship that destroys many people’s lives…

Another exciting thing that had happened today is that Benodictor, who moved with his family to Mombasa for a church plant from Calvary Chapel Nairobi, came to visit us! It was so good to hear about the work that the Lord is doing in Mombasa. Benodictor leads a Bible Study and 10 people got saved!!! He is very excited about it. We'll also be starting the Sunday service soon. The ministry to the Muslims is continuing and I was very encouraged to hear that the Lord opens the hearts of those who are open to hear and receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ!!! It’s hard, but it’s good!!! Please pray for Benodictor’s wife, Millicent; she is going to have a baby in one or two weeks. Pray for safety and protection when they are witnessing to the Muslim community… Pray that the Lord would open the eyes of those who are searching for the truth…
