Today we visited another church and had one of our strangest cultural experiences yet: a vegetable auction in the middle of the service!
The auction actually made a lot of sense as the vegetables had been given as a gift to the church and the proceeds went to the offering.
We led the Sunday school, shared a few songs and testimonies, preached and were blessed by a delicious lunch. We then led the youth service outside under a tree and had fun admiring the stunning views (the church was on top of a hill) and playing with the kids, one of whom has followed us home!
We were really encouraged that many of the kids prayed in response to hearing the gospel in Sunday school and that the church was so welcoming to us, inviting us to return when we come back from West Pokot. One young man came straight up to the front to receive prayer after Connie's preach on intimacy with God and we were able to pray with others in their seats.
Yesterday we attended a memorial service for a Somali Kenyan believer who was shot because of his faith last year. It was amazing to hear his wife and sons speaking and be reminded of the sure and certain hope that we have. It was also amazing to meet some Muslim-background believers and seekers, hear their testimonies and pray for them.
