One stretch of the road to Mulungushi...
The group is split into 4 teams, their cross goes everywhere they go.
We
have been doing well here, the sports discipleship school is going just
fantastic. Our first week in the bush was awesome, everyone was
challenged physically and spiritually. Most of them have never been
swimming, rock rappelling, climbing, doing team games etc. so this was great. Also,
we put them all out for a 24 hour solo time (fasting) on their own in
the bush that overlooked the lake. They all came back hungry but full of stories about night creatures and the things God had been speaking
to them. All this followed by a 24 mile (32Km) hike the next day to a huge
waterfall in the deep bush.
Spiritually, about 90% went before the cross, knelt down and recommitted their lives to the Lord with a deeper level of
revelation and brokenness.
One of the students
said he could write a book about this week; another said this was all too
awesome; the American student said that this week was the best week of
his life; my Masai friend Mark was just amazed at all the stuff going
on, the bush was easy for him but swimming, well that is another story. I
would say that he is the hero here, his depth in the Lord is a
beautiful thing and everyone just loves the guy. He is simple but very
strong internally and that is attracting.
As
for me, Lyle, I am a bit worn out but by spirit is excited. Now several other
groups have asked for this bush experience and I go again with another
group today for the rest of the week. Then back home with the sports
group for three more weeks.
Thank you for your continued prayer for these students and for the nations
of Africa that is so desperately in need of a true savior.
Enjoy these photos, a mix of the different activities that took place this past week.
