Here is another excerpt from my Journal frommy Kenya mission trip this summer.
6/7/05 Day 5
Kenyan life iss so different that life in the states. There are too many differences to write down now. But just to name a few. Kenyans live at a slower pace of life, but they are still very efficient. We had a meeting with the youth pastors from Shiloh last night to plan a youth retreat for this weekend. It was one of the simplest meetings I have ever been involved with. They made decisions very slow and deceivably. They make sure everyone is in agreement before they continue. It is very different from business meetings in the states. But I think if you would combine style they would make a very effective model.
10:32 pm Today was great. Door to Door went much better today. Praise the Lord for answer of prayer for more confidence during door to door. For life is much better when you are proclaiming the word of God in a confident manner.
We went to a Christian Union gathering at Kilmo High School today. There were about 200 kids there. It was so amazing to see a room full of black faces. God has created such a beautiful world and I am finally seeing part of it.
I shaved outside yesterday. I had a group so wtotos (little children) lined up staring at me the whole time. Pastor John said that they had never seen a muzngu (white man) shave before.
