Sunset at Kiboko Bay.

  Friends,
  We hope each of you have been doing well and wish God's blessings on each of your lives as you serve the King!
  Recently, we were blessed with one of the most beautiful sunsets we ever saw at Kiboko Bay. It is along Lake Victoria. We find it a blessing to get away from the dirt of town and see the beauty that the lake has to offer. Thank-you for the interest you have taken in our lives and the work of the King!

Korowe Primary School. We did a book distribution here with the youth one Saturday afternoon. After the distribution, we went to Kiboko Bay and invited missionary families to join us. This school is not far from our church. We were warmly welcomed. They sang a few songs for us, and we sang for them. Only grades 6-8 were there, plus many were missing because of a burial.

Eunice Otieno's first Sunday at church with baby Glenda! We had a dedication prayer for her.

Glenda, Elliot, Eunice, Glenda!

We took Bishop Erick to Tenwek Hospital because he was having tremendous pain with the external fixture on his broken leg. It looks like it could be a long road to recovery. Dean (left), Jacob (right) (one of my translators) along with a nephew of Erick and myself took him. It was a long day!

They purchased soil from another old house that was taken down and now it get's used again for a new house.

The City Dump of Kisumu!! This is not far from our compound. Imagine the smoke wafting over the town for people to inhale... including us.

Becky Miller is making Chapat's and they were good!

Be sure to always smile even if you are having a bad hair day!

To the equator with friends...

Image
  Hello Friends,   Greetings from the land of bright sunshine! The ROM (Reaching Out Ministries) delegation came to Kenya for a visit in the month of November. Tommy and Marji Wagler, (former missionaries), joined Duane and Emily Sommers with their children Todd and Amber. It was Duane's first trip to Africa, so it was an eye-opener for them. Their visit refreshed our spirits, and new friendships were formed. At the equator! Duane & Emily Sommers from the State of Washington This man was happy to show us how the water will swirl one way on one side of the equator and the other way on the other side, and he claimed it would not swirl when he was on the line. The price was $3. Do we truly believe the results? Hardly! This old equator sign has been marked to be destroyed because it is on the government's right of way. Our first visit was to Jacob's dala. Jacob joined us as a translator for several hours.  Charles and Pamela's da...

Special Visitors...

  Dear Ones,   Greetings from our side of the world! January 2017 is history. We had much packed into the month. We had some very special visitors. Dad and Mom Bender,along with our brother, Davy, were a blessing to us. The excitement level was running high. Our special visitors had arrived in Kisumu on this plane. The sun was rising on a good day. Dad enjoying the first visit to CBF Lela where two of his daughters are members. He had instant respect, because in this culture, gray hair is honorable. Davy seemed to enjoy his visit to Kenya. He brought lots of laughter with him. Tiffany loves to hold baby Glenda. Dad and Mom blessed the ladies at Lela with donated dresses from our church at home. The Lela ladies are very happy with their new dresses. May God bless the givers!  It is special to see my friends' dresses at church in Africa! Mom with baby Glenda At Bible Study... Dad thought he was not hungry!! He mun...

Vincent Bonde's Burial

Image
  Dear Friends,   Welcome to our Kenyan Journey!   Between busy schedules, no electric, no internet, taking care of the children, etc., it seems the blogs do not happen as frequently as they should.   The burial for Vincent Bonde was held 8 December at his dala, which is the custom of Luo people. Vincent was blessed with around 90 years which is remarkable in any country but especially in Kenya. He remembered the days before the exchange of money, and he said that money brought problems. He spoke of the good ol' days when there was plenty of food. He seldom attended church since we have been in Kenya, due to his age and physical difficulty. He was a very gracious man who was basically blind. He loved the Lord and the Word of God. His family was very easy to work with during the time of the burial. Although he was the only one of the family that was a member of the Lela church, we felt and still feel welcome there and have made friends.   Unfortunately, the w...
