We are nearing the end of our trip. The last medical camp has been finished and we are now in Limuru, just outside of Nairobi. Last night Emily to make dinner for our hosts here. They have been so gracious in caring for us. The plan was to cook chicken alfredo with double treat chocolate cookies for dessert. Keep in mind ALLLLL of the ingredients would have to be purchased locally. So, of to the grocery store we went. We passed the car batteries, kerosene cooking stoves, bars of cooking fat, Read More...

Medical Mission 2010 Born on a Banana Leaf.......and other stories from the road

Dr. Charles Kaluba is our Clinical Officer for our trip. He is Ugandan and a delight to work with. He grew up during the reign of Idi Amin and has some very interesting stories. His birth on a banana leaf while his mother held the the trunk of the tree rivals my mother's tale of me being born under a cabbage leaf. It seems that the banana is so importantRead More...

Medical Mission August 2010

We have tasted a bit of the pressing of the multitude that was spoken of in the Gospels. Our medical clinics on Friday and Saturday went well through the day and then at the end the crowds of people want care began to press in hoping to see the doctor. My western mind can not imagine wanting something so desperately that not even a uniformed officer would move the crowd. The doctors see patients for 8 hours, sometimes 70 or 80 each, can only work so much. Even after we closed the door we woulRead More...

Greetings from Kenya!

We have just finished a very full week and we are set to begin another week of training. Last week we held our 4th annual Pastors Conference in the Mabanga Conference center near Bungoma and we had over 50 pastors and their wives attend. Pastor Rich Hamlin and I were teaching on 'Being a Pastor' and the response from the pastors was overwhelming and gracious. I had opportunity to speak personally with all of them and they were all extRead More...

First Clinic Day, What a day indeed

Webmaster — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 16:47:44 +0100

Scheduled departure time 6:30 AM this morning......actual time of departure, 7:30 AM. It happens here. Too many boxes and too little room in our two vehicles. So we unloaded, consolidated and reloaded. Then two more people were added to our already overcrowded vehicle.

We arrived safely and were greeted by the school children standing in a very large circle as there were over 200 of them. Their maroon uniforms and bare feet showed the poverty of the area. It is a rural community Read More...

Prayer.............we started this morning at 5 AM. We are staying at the same location as our 4th Annual Pastor's Conference and so the pastors came to pray. Kenyans are serious about talking to God and sometimes the sound level rivals a Seahawks game. Pastor Mike Sandberg, the lead teacher for the conference even brings earplugs which he uses periodically. So this Read More...

Medical Mission 2009

Mud, mud and more mud.....
Our three day clinic in the hills above Kilgoris ended yesterday with a big push to see all of the patients who had walked long hours to be seen by our staff. In the end there were still 20 people we could not see. The light was gone, the doctors and nursing staff were wearing head lamps to finish the last of the work. One of our nurses and I walked through the waiting people one last time to see if there was just one more urgent case. We focused on infants and childreRead More...

Pastor's Conference

Webmaster — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 06:06:05 +0100

Today is Wednesday, the 2nd of September and Rob and I are taking some much needed time to catch up on email and post some web stuff about our trip so far. I am also reflecting on the past several days of our trip, meditating on the goodness of God in my life and the way He has lovingly orchestrated everything in our travels. Rob and I finished the Pastor's confeRead More...
