Conference End Marks A Beginning...Teleios/Grace Africa 2007
Day 8…Masai Market Experience Is Enlightening
Bernard Kabaru leads a prayer for Matt as the service begins.
The Team was truly blessed by the many new friendships established in the Koinonia Fellowship.
Our last day on the road, the conference ends, and our bags are full of tea. What a tremendous closing time as Matt wrapped the conference in great style. The team was presented gifts of local tea.
The emergence of long-lasting relationships was evident as we said good-bye to our brothers and sisters in Christ in Mukuria. God is good all the time. Our final meal together had meat. How many times can you answer the question: “What is this meat?” I told them it was beef.
On Saturday afternoon, courage and adventure were at a peak as we traveled into downtown Nairobi. Actually, it was mild compared to the weekdays. What difference does an extra million make when cars and people are every where?!
We traveled to the Masai Market in center of Nairobi for real shopping. Kevin was getting into it so much so that Matt gave him a new name—Simba. Mitchell must have played cards at one time—“You’ve got to know when to hold and when to fold them”— because we kept hearing “That’s my final offer or I’m going.” Mike worked a great deal on soapstone plates which I took advantage of. We had a great time. After our afternoon shopping spree, we arrived back at the Kentmere to a dinner of some of the most tender pepper steak that was cooked just right…this suffering in Kenya is about to get the best of us.
Today, the Grace Team was obviously looking forward to going home. Confessions of missing wives and children brought renewed desire for home…Only one more day until the “safari” to Greenville.
Team members enjoy engaging in conversation with their new brothers and sisters in Christ.
