By Jorge,
We have been invited to visit a school and a mission near lake Victoria, in the region of Nyanza. Along with Jason and our friend Isaac, we took off on a Friday for a weekend visit. We rode 350 kms in a pretty good paved road to this area which is part of the high lands of Kenya and not far from the world-famous Maasai Mara Reservation Park. The weather was good and we enjoyed a beautiful ride. After we visited the school and got acquainted with the children and some of the teachers we were invited to speak at the parents meeting that was held there that day, which was actually the last day of this school term. We were also shown around the school compound and introduced to the needs of the school. From our mission fund we were able to share some financial resources to help with these needs. We encouraged particularly the building of new toilet facilities, because the ones there now – 3 toilets for 300 children – are not sufficient and very much sub-standard (no tiles, hole on the ground, no flush).

We spent Sunday morning in that area and we had the opportunity to share some scriptures with the congregation at the local church. We shared from John 15, verses 1 to 5, about the vine and the branches. In such rural area, there is a perfect understanding of how fruit cannot be borne by the branches that are cut off from the vine… thus, if we do not remain in God’s Word, also, we cannot bear fruit. On that theme we left several audio Bibles with the leaders of the church and community which was also a reason for much jubilation.
