Blogging from a slow internet cafe connection, back in Kisumu, we have no way to post pictures. That should change tomorrow back in Nairobi. Meanwhile, here's the recap:
Day 4: Worship at ELCK Kissii
Traveled from Kisumu to Kissii, the city where the ELCK was founded.
Worshipped with over 500 people in an open air setting.
We all spoke to the congregation in turn.
Needed to leave early (for the service that lasted until 2:00PM) but were interrupted by an invitation for lunch.
First stop on the bumpy road, Kilgore, to pick up Pastor Joseph Momposhi, from the Massai, who proved to be an entertaining, informative, and inciteful guy.
More bumps and groans on the way to Mara West, a camp overlooking the Massai Mara game preserve on the northern end of the Sarengeti plain.
Dinner at Mara West and introduction to an entirely new part of Kenya, different climate, different culture, different vegetation.
Day 5: Massai Mara
Travel through the game park, hundreds of pictures to follow.
After dinner, extended opportunities to discuss ministry opportunities with Pastor Momposhi.
Day 6: Mara to Kisumu to Nairobi
A new road! Without potholes! Thanks be to God! Thanks also to Pastor Momposhi who told our intrepid driver of a new road that takes us back to Kisumu without most of the kidney churning bumps and bruises experienced on the way there.
Outside of Kisumu the heavens open and we experience out first tropical downpour, a deluge that goes on for many minutes.
Then BANG a suspension part is broken about 10 kilometers outside of Kisumu, and we limp back to the ELCK office.
Now we fly back to Nairobi, Lord willing, to debrief, update this blog with pictures, and prepare for the long trip home.
In his service,
Karl, Elizabeth, and Kirk

Hi Mom,
Sounds like you guys are busy AND having a great adventure. I wish I was there - especially to see the animals! See any Okapi?? Love you, Miss You, keep telling others about Jesus.
Love,
Caleb
It is so fun to see God at work! We had our 40 Days group meeting tonight. We were using the Prayer out of the Box tonight and the card that we had for you was "removing obstacles". The prayer starter was "Thank you, Father, for promising Karl, Kirk and Liz to remove obstacles from the pathway!" Here were the verses for that card: "Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain." Is 40:4 "I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cur through bars of iron." Is 45:2
After reading the blog later, I had to laugh because your blog just confirmed that indeed we needed to give thanks for removing the obstacles and literally making the rough and rugged ground level!! It has been my prayer for all of you after talking to Karl on Monday was that the Lord would make your trip back smoother and easier. Wow - did He answer that one in a obvious way!! Thank You, God!!
Remember that there are many that are praying for each of you all the way home!
Hey St. John leaders,
What an amazing experience you are in the middle of. I pray for the Holy Spirit to give you strength and energy during these exciting days. May the Lord protect you and guide you.

Dad,
We got to go to Zion last weekend. Everyone sends their love. I was so proud to tell them your in Africa. They said, "India first, now Africa?" The Northsiders are all doing well here, and we can't wait to see and hear personally about the trip.
Love ya,
Charlie
