Friday: The Last Day of the Conference















The FOBOCK (Fellowship of Baptist of Central Kenya)annual meeting is a great gathering from across central Kenya. Bonnie and Floyd really enjoy being with the church leaders and members for the teaching and the fellowship. Bonnie really enjoyed her teaching and dialogue session with the women. The women said they really enjoyed their time with Bonnie and invited her to come back to be with them in November.

Floyd finished his teaching focusing on Psalm 85 and hinderances to an intimate relationship with the Lord. Bernard taught on intimate relationship with God expressed in Christian Fellowship and Service. There was also a session on what is FOBOCK? it's purpose and objectives. Each day the women, men, and youth held group meetings to get to know each other and talk about how to make practical application of the teaching.

The pictures focus on tea time and the cooks who made the best beans, cabbage, and rice. They also made Bonnie her own special brew of tea--black tea no milk with a little sugar. The picture show the church kitchen, the cooks, cooking the beans, serving lunch, and cooking ugali (the white stuff in the pot) for supper.

Again today an open air meeting was held in the center of town. A large group of people gathered to listen and join in the singing.

Tomorrow, Bonnie and Floyd travel with Bernard to his mother's place and then to a celebration. One man from the village became the first person to obtain a PH.D. in the village. There is going to be a celebration. After the celebration, we head for Bernard's house to pick up luggage, repack, and take a quick shower before heading off the airport. Don't know when we will post again. Thank you in advance for your prayers through the two weeks in Kenya. Thank you for your encouragement. Thank you for being our partners in the mission.
