New Day, New Opportunities...Teleios Africa 2007
Day 10…Just Call Me Mr. Lonely
God knows what we need and makes provision for it before we can even think to ask.
Students at Happy Day Academy enjoy playtime.
Today was my first day without my Grace brothers. I had planned to sleep late, but the birds at the Kentmere helped me to meet the sunrise.
Today, I had the great joy of spending some real quality time with the children and staff at Mary Kabaru’s Happy Day Academy. The new facility is great—the children love it. Mary now has over 60 children enrolled. In fact, the parents of the five-year-olds want her to start a first-grade class. Please pray for Mary as she seeks the Lord’s direction in what to do. The children were happy and not bashful at all.
God never ceases to amaze me at how He works even in small things to reveal His power and care for us. Teleios partners had contributed funds designated for individual chalkboards. As we packed the containers in preparation for this trip, Bonnie and Meg made sure that there were enough to take to Mary and Happy Day Academy.
Just this morning, Mary’s teachers had asked her if she could please find some individual chalkboards for them to be able to use. When I arrived with the chalkboards, Mary could not believe it. Before she even said, God had already made possible the answer. Today has already been a great day.
Later in the day, Bernard and I went to downtown Nairobi to meet a local investment banker. Parking places in downtown Nairobi are none—none—none. We finally found one in a private lot after what seemed like an hour—I think that our parking fee was actually a contribution to the guards “salary” fund.
Frank Mwaisumbe met us in the evening at the Kentmere. We enjoyed a delicious, traditional Kikuyu meal prepared by the Kabaru family. I am full…can you say too many chapatis?
Thank you for your continued prayers as Frank and I travel on to Tanzania.
More than 60 children are now enrolled at Happy Day.
Keeping things straight and orderly is part of what is learned at the school.
