Blessed Rain... Andy Gabig

Rain,Rain, Rain, as someone who likes the stuff I am sure getting my fill. Seriosly one of my favorite things in the world to do is walk in the rain, and since landing here we have seen probably more than a foot of rain. It has hampered the work we feel we need to accomplish but guess what. it is obviouse that God has another plan. It is funny but as I was thinking this morning, I realized that this rain is just what the Kenyan's need. In reality some on this team have been praying long and hard for this very rain, the crops are depending on this rain so we will just have to lay our own agenda down and roll with what God has in store for our remaining time here on the ground.

This group has come together tremendously covering one another and just ministering to one another. We have had a great time of fellowship and get time nightly to debreif. It's beautifull what God is doing in our midst. The children at the orphanage are getting the better part of our time because of the rain, and that is another blessing. The Lord's orchestration is all we want and need. We had church in a field today and at least 300 Kenyans showed up for the service. It lasted more than 3 hours but it seemed like just a short time. Jon Martz blessed us with a great message and the team had the opportunity to sing and play for the Kenyan's (amoungst many others) and guess what the rain held off for most of the service. I know that we were a great encouragement to the church there but the truth is that they blessed us more than we did them!

It is sad to think that we only have 3 more days at the orphanage before breaking camp here at Tenwek. I will miss these Kenyan Smiles along with so many other things.

Thanks for all of your prayers we can feel the effect
Shalom
Andy
