Kisii Worship Blessing 320 Secondary Students the Day Before a National ExamThis is the first Lutheran congregation formed in Kenya which now has a complex of orphan care, secondary school, and regional ELCK headquarters. It's amazing to hear LCMS Biblical theology in this setting spoken in English, Swahili and Kisii!
Bringing St. John Greetings to Kisii CongregationEveryplace we went people were extremely welcoming and anxious to "hear our voice!" Everyone laughed when Kirk was introduced. It turns out that "Kirk" means "big hen" in Swahili. They also laughed at "Galik" -- but didn't say why!
Leaving Kisii For Journey to Masa Mara In Our Safari VanLeaving each of our sites was more process than event. We were always invited to eat (a cautious endeavor in Kenya) and stay. Parting sometimes took 30 minutes or more.
Our Photojournalist, Kirk, on the Massai MaraJust out of view on the other side of the river, a herd of hippos were resting after a night of foraging. We tried to be quiet and stay in the distance!
Massai Lutheran Pastor Joseph MomposhiHe will play an increasing role in our intended support of "ends of the earth ministry." Our plan is to encourage/fund a "Rescue Center" for Massai girls to provide basic necessities such as clean water, education, and shelter for those fleeing female circumcision.

Wonderful post with great pictures!
Dad,
You have to find out what 'Galik' means!
Blessings from Chicago,

Massai Lutheran Pastor Joseph Momposhi will be raised in our prayers tonight at worship and beyond as we seek the Lord's mercy to the Massai girls.
Soli Deo Gloria,
P.
