Sunday – Aug. 19
By Heather Birch
Today was a wonderful experience worshipping with other believers at the Sunday morning service at the hospital. The Sparks led worship and Deb gave her wonderful testimony about how she came to Christ and ended up visiting Tenwek last year. After church, the team was taken on a hike around the Tenwek compound. The tour included seeing the dam that was built by Samaritan’s Purse. It powers all of the electricity for the hospital. Then the team took a tour of the hospital. It was an eye-opener because we saw suffering of the infants but the blessing was the care they were receiving. We had a wonderful Bible study with several Kenyan staff members. We had a great time of worship with songs in Swahili and heard testimonies from two Kenyans.
The thing about today that struck me the most was the feeling of the love of Christ for all of the patients at the hospital. The hospital had a crisis today because all of the oxygen wasn’t working and there was a risk of patients’ dying. However, the little premie babies all had little oxygen tubes flowing to them. They were taken care and it was a blessing to see how God’s hand was everyone, even the little ones. They can grow up to grow up to great examples of Christ because of what Tenwek hospital did for them.
Tomorrow will be our first day at the worksite at Mosop Orphanage. We will be interacting with the kids and getting an idea about the roof project we will be doing with a team of Kenyans. Please pray for health, especially as the team continues to recover from jetlag. Tomorrow will be our first day of actual work, and we will likely be wiped out by the end. Also pray for the relationships we continue to build with people at the hospital and now the children and staff at the orphanage. Pray that our unity and love for each other will continue to grow as we spend the next two weeks in Kenya.
