Witnessing or Being Witnesses To?

Today we visited with 8 of our women in the morning. Each one couldn’t say enough good about ladies day yesterday. All the ladies loved being able to come together and worship. They also loved the message that was preached. They found the talk about agriculture fascinating and the talk about gold mining enlightening. Most of the women had no idea about the dangers of mining and the use of mercury. 

We had visitors for lunch today and were gifted authentic Kenyan dresses! 

After lunch we went to see Dr. Isaac’s clinic. He showed us around his clinic, which was very interesting. The clinic has many consultation rooms, a lab, some treatment rooms, an operating room, and ultrasound and X-ray machines. Dr. Isaac is a local doctor who is hired by Voice of Hope to give treatment to the Voice of Hope women. He does some amazing work there and has helped out our widows tremendously! 

At our last visit, all the kids had just finished school and we had a huge group come for a story and suckers. Some of the women from our group began singing Jesus Loves Me and the kids joined in! The kids loved hearing the story about David and Goliath. 

I find it truly amazing that we came here to be a witness to our dear friends but they are witnessing to us! These ladies have so little but their faith is so strong and they always share their wisdom with us.

We are greeted warmly as we head for a lovely visit.

Our lovely Kenyan dresses!

Kids, kids, everywhere! Always eager to listen to a story and colour a picture.
