So we made it to Eburru and Kijabe on Friday and had a great time. It has been a while since I had been to Eburru and I thought I needed to go this trip. Pastor Steve has tried to get me to go the last two times I have been here but when you are in country for a week it is a significant commitment. But it was worth the trip. They have really done allot since I have been there. There is now a nice clinic, fun rooms for people to stay in, a new church building and they are half way through with a small training center. The community also sold them this old British house (old but huge and really cool) and 10 acres of land to start an orphanage. There is allot of work to do before it starts but it is going to be pretty awesome.
We were able to travel around and to catch up with a few of the church members while we were there. After that it was down the mountain to Naivasha for lunch and then on to Kijabe for the night. With only a small delay after a radiator hose broke we were on our way again. We thanked the Lord because if the hose blew in Eburru we would have been out of luck for sure, but instead it broke just as we were leaving Naivasha and we were able to head quickly into town to get it fixed.
While in Kijabe we stayed with Pastor Simon and Margaret. It was a great visit and it was really good to be able to hear how they are doing and to see how God used them to minister to so many during the riots after the election. Simon has got to be one of the wisest men I have met in Kenya and I appreciate his council and I love to hear his ideas about the best ways to minister in Kenya. He always has so much going on!
After Kijabe it was back to Nairobi.
