Parklands Baptist Church

This is the largest Baptist church in Nairobi. Many of the students attend this church, and it is where the students meeting is held on Friday evenings. Last night Bob had them discussing
1 Thess. 1.

Kenyatta

Bob went out to Kenyatta University with Samuel Mwiti (back row on the right). He is working faithfully to train disciple makers among the students there.

Cuteness

This is Teresa and her two youngest children. Teresa worked with us on staff for several years before she married Clinton. Cory and Ian loved having their picture taken. That's dirt on Cory's face. He attracts it as easily as "Pigpen." But oh the fun he has doing it!

They're keep us busy!

Tom (on the left) and Rogers are leaders of the Student Discipleship Ministry. They are both graduates who have stayed in Nairobi to work with the students at University of Nairobi.








Moses was a student when Bob was in Kenya in 1982. He is faithfully making disciples and working with students at multiple campuses. We sure appreciate his wisdom and help with the students at Nairobi University. Bob and Moses are planning to travel by bus to another city about 3 hours from Nairobi on Saturday to visit a campus group at another university.

Natasha's place

Jon & Priscilla took us to see where Natasha is living on Saturday, then we all went to Java House for lunch. Great food and the best coffee (according to Jon) in Nairobi.

Golfing in Kenya

This morning Bob went golfing with a fellow volunteer from KC and shot 18 holes at Windsor Golf and Country Club in Nairobi. Borrowed clubs were his very good excuse when asked about his score. Bob was able to get in his one game of African golf.

Africa Greetings

We have arrived in Nairobi and are almost over jet lag. We've been here a week now, and we're lovin' it here. The weather is ideal. They say it is one of their hottest months and it is a lovely partly cloudy 75 degrees. The mornings and evenings are a little cooler and it can get quite windy. We are staying with our good friends, Jon and Priscilla. This is a view of their home and a tiny bit of the office showing down the slope on the left.
We have enjoyed meeting with the univesity students here in Nairobi. Several of them along with their leaders met with us at their church last Sunday afternoon, then we joined their weekly meeting on the campus of the University of Nairobi on Monday evening. We will be meeting individually with some of the students and their leaders.
One interesting thing about the student ministry is that at least 3 of the Kenyan leaders were discipled as college students in the 80's by one of our alums who was here for 2 years as a Journeyman. The investment she made has multiplied so many times, I'm not sure we will know the extent of it until we get to heaven!

A bit of nostalgia: Jon and Bob posing in front of the Pizza Garden. They ate there with their team of students in 1980. They all stayed in Nairobi for a few days before heading to Zambia. The Jackaranda Hotel is still there across the street.
