We took a drive to Nyeri, at the foothills of Mt. Kenya. Unfortunately, it the mountain was covered in clouds all day. However, we did visit the Baden Powell museum at the “Outspan.”. B. Powell was the founder of the Boy Scouts, who spent the last years of his life here in the area. This location is right next to “Treetops”, the place where Queen Elizabeth was staying when she received the news that her father had died and that she was the Queen of England. … [click pictures to enlarge]
It was nice to be out of the city, and back into the greenery of rural Kenya, where life is abundant and you can find good fruits and vegetable for a very reasonable price. We bought as much as we could. [click picture to enlarge]

Our Bible study group is growing and prospering, so much so, that we’ve had to divide into smaller groups in order to facilitate hosting and discussion. We are studying a book entitled “Jesus on Leadership’ Becoming a Servant Leader”. As we also study the gospel accounts of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and His betrayal, trial and crucifixion, we also see Him as the suffering servant who came not to be served, but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many. Mark 10:45 His incredible love for us was so intense that it led Him to lay down His life for us.

The Kids Bible Club has increased in number as well, and we are so encouraged that many show up at 7:30 on Saturday morning, even in the pouring rain!! I guess we, as adults, forgot how fun it is to slosh through the rain and puddles and chilly wind at daybreak. :)) (we would have much preferred to stay in bed). But the word is out and we are on duty, rain or shine, and what fun it has been. Once, the question was posed,”Is Jesus still in the grave?”. Most did not answer. Some responded, “No”. Next question,” So, where is He now?'” Answers ranged between : in the church, the mosque, school, the Bible, everywhere, Jerusalem, I don’t know, etc. This led us into a lesson on the beauties and realities of Heaven! These kids are a joy to teach! In their honesty and simplicity, many are coming to understand God’s plan for salvation revealed through His Word, the Bible.
