Sunday

Since it was the last Sunday that the whole team would be in Kenya we decided to attend Nairobi Chapel which was the church that planted Lifespring Chapel. It is huge and a very vibrant and evangelistic church.

After the service Peter, Tom & I dropped Joey and Louise over to Lifespring Chapel to attend the Youth service. Meanwhile the rest of the team checked out the markets at Prestige Plaza and grabbed some lunch.

The home group that Linda & I attend in Australia sponsor a young girl (Merilah) through Kenya Help and so we arranged to visit her family on Sunday afternoon. Together with Stella (one of our Kenya Help staff in Kenya) we did some grocery shopping and then spend a couple hours visiting Merilah, her sister Julie & their mother.
It was as we expected but still an emotional time. This is a family that has really had a sad history and is in so much need. We thank God that we are able to assist them.
