Our May/June trip to Kenya proved to be most productive in several ways. The team of ten RUMC members and one Sugarloaf UMC member was able to gather much information beneficial to the future plans of the school. Most exciting was the ability of our team to actually see the school in action, to learn first-hand all the needs being met by the school in the lives of the pastors, and to realize the impact training will make within the Kenyan Church... and beyond.
We arrived during the second week of a school session so we were able to interact with the pastors and teachers.On the middle Sunday we accompanied the pastors to Peter's church which they have adopted as their "school church." One of the student-pastors was appointed to teach the Sunday morning Bible study at the church prior to the worship service. This will become a regular feature with different students teaching each time. Samuel taught this time and impressed his teachers as he aptly applied what he has been learning at the school. His message was meaningful and was presented with much clarity. I am certain the congregation was most blessed.
