Vacation Bible Study with the Masai Children

What a fantastic experience! We were expecting 60 children at VBS, but God blessed us with more than 130! What precious little ones, ranging in age from 2 to 12. The Greene's did an awesome job with the story time! Ashtyn brought the stories to life. The children loved the songs we taught them and loved playing games with Jared and Jimmy, especially football.

We were invited to one of the Masai's home, what an experience to visit at a traditional Masai village. The Masai wear such beautiful colors, lots of red, amazing bead work around their neck and jewelry for their ears. We also were able to visit one of their churches under a beautiful tree and sing with the women of that village. On a Sunday, about 80 people will join together under the tree to praise and worship God.

Today Jimmy will be preaching at a church in Nairobi. Half the team is going to this church with Jimmy and the other half to another church here in Nairobi. Jim will be going to the other church and will be teaching them a song from America.

We thank you for your prayers! So far everyone is doing very well. Please continue to pray for good health, safety and that God is getting all the Glory!

Tomorrow morning we leave for Migori and will do a 4 lessons over 2 days for the children of this village. Jim and Jimmy will be teaching the adults with 4 two hour sessions. At the end of the week we will drive through the Masa Mara and should see some amazing wild life. Then on next Saturday we will be back in Nairobi and Jim will preach next weekend.

All are doing very well and send their love and greetings to our family and friends. Again thank you for your prayers! God Bless!

Love, Phil, Jennie, Jared, Ashtyn, Jimmy, Jim and Linda
