Cathy picks a fight in Nairobi- well, not really

In my last post I asked you to pray for Daniel’s health and for Cathy’s safety as she traveled to Nairobi. I am happy to report all is well. Daniel has made a good recovery and is again climbing the walls, the refrigerator, and anything else he can get to before we stop him.

Cathy ran into some trouble on the first night in Nairobi at the grocery store. Apparently, a Kenyan woman was having a bad night and decided to get very vocal with Cathy. It ended without any harm but it could have been a lot of trouble. Cathy said she was shocked so much so that her hands were shaking for awhile afterward. She had never had anyone treat her like that in Africa before. See, this is why I don’t let her go anywhere without me. Ha ha. Again, thanks for praying for her.

Sunday school went well this week. We had several arrive on time to hear the last message from the Old Testament. Next week we will teach the about God’s plans to bring the promised Redeemer, Jesus. Unfortunately, I will not be at our church to teach that lesson. Majaliwa will teach in my place. He has had a few weeks off from our discipleship time but we were able to thoroughly cover the lesson yesterday and I am confident he will do a good job teaching.

I will be going back to Mwanza to help Greg Wagoner with another session of Bible College. I have also been invited to preach at a new church plant in the area but I am not sure if I will be able. We are also traveling that same road that nearly destroyed my vehicle. This time however, Greg will be driving his vehicle while mine stays safely at home with Cathy and the kids.

Please pray:
Our safety
Majaliwa’s (ma ja lee wa) preaching on Sunday
The Bible College session
Traveling mercies. Traveling is the most dangerous thing a missionary does.
Protection for the family while I am gone.
