Posted on March 18, 2010 - Filed Under General News | Leave a Comment
Charlie went to a new place today. It was 16 miles from town and took an hour and 45 minutes to drive. (I hope to get pictures = of the “road” posted for you.) His friend tells him this is the place God has showed = him where we should begin working. They met with the chief, who cancelled = another meeting to be with them today. The majority of the village was gone because they = didn’t receive the message that anyone was coming. The man who was given that = responsibility failed to deliver. The Samburu “telephone”, sending a man on = foot to deliver your news, is not always the most reliable. They did manage = to gather about 20 folks together and as Charlie held up his Bible he = asked, “Does anyone know what this book is?” Only one woman raised her hand to = answer “yes.” The chief told Charlie (and company) that there are no churches at all = between his place and Wamba. In fact, the nearest church would be about a 6 to 8 = hour walk from their village to Maralal town. Pray that we will all hear = clearly from God whether this is the next place we should begin working. The chief = says that no one has come to their area. “Everyone has forgotten; no one = comes to help us.” He promises there should be about 100 people in = attendance when Charlie and James return next week.
