Kenya - Work at Saint David's School

Yesterday brought to an end our work at Saint David's School. What a joy! We were greeted with a number of anthems by the school choir and an anthem by a trio of the teachers. We responded with the singing of "In Christ Alone" and "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" (in Swahili). Blair organized a painting project, which she arranged and can describe. My part was painting Ecclesiastes 9:10 around the top of the water cisterns with a paint brush made out of a stick, the end of which a dedicated teacher had chewed into a bristle! I was privileged to give both a morning and afternoon devotion for the students and faculty, as well as to speak of the "Consummation" or final of the seven "C's." We ended our day at the school with our Mission Team standing in a circle with the Saint David's faculty singing once again "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" together in Swahili--quite emotional as we prepared to leave our new but very good friends! Oh, I was informed by Blair, who has become our Team Kenya Swahili expert that I was known among the students as Mzungu Pastor, or the wandering/visiting pastor. I'll take that as a compliment!
