13th January: Our guests - Dr.Schmitt, Randy Varain, and Erin arrived safe in Nairobi. Pastor Andrew and I were at the airport to receive them. It is a great joy to have them with us. Arrived at the guest house about 11.30pm from the airport. It must have been 1am when we went to bed.
The ICCM team and the medical staff arrived in Mlolongo from Eldoret - a seven hour journey by road.
14th January : The medical camp at Mlolongo commenced. The area is extremely hot, dusty, and dirty. The river is completely dry. 269 people were treated; 150 committed themselves to Christ; 53 were counseled for HIV. There is a lot of excitement.
Earlier in the morning we had a 'thought' from Psalms 23, and we all prayed. After the camp was done for the day we had meetings with the teams. Shared the Word from 1st John :3, and we prayed together. We were all very tired.
At the guest house : Had a good dinner. Later in his room, when Dr. Schmitt put on the switch for hot water, the 'instant' heater 'exploded'. All the wires were burned and the doctor had to have a cold shower.
On my part I made sure that all three were safe and well. I had a fight with mosquitoes !!
We are all in the same 'spirit'; and getting along so smoothly/happily. I thank God for the three from the USA - just wonderful people with humility, love, and a zeal to serve.
