The majority of the couples are Kenyans, but there are also others from neighboring countries such as Malawi, etc. We are focusing on prayer and intercession, and it is a very enriching experience to hear testimonies, share the Word, and join in prayer for personal needs, the nations etc. It is also helps to create deep bonds between the local community members. We have a &#8220;Hospitality Outreach&#8221; and now we are focusing on supply hot water kettles and supplies to the estate guards who pass the night standing in the cold! Yes, it&#8217;s cold at at night here, temperatures can go below 10 degrees C!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fellowships<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This month, as usual, we attended several fellowships. The youth meeting at the Griffins over in Karen, the International fellowship at Roslyn School and the Chinese Fellowship at Junction. We has a very special time at the Chinese Fellowship as several short term mission visitors from Hong Kong were visiting. We are encouraged to see more and more Chinese interested in the field of Africa. The Chinese Christian experience, especially the broad and deep &#8220;house church&#8221; movement that makes the main stream of Christian activity in China, with millions of believers, is an example to share with the rest of the world.
