The economy is still recovering from post-election violence last year and facing fallout from the global slowdown on export markets. Kenyans have been horrified by multi-million dollar government graft scandals in the maize and fuel sectors in the middle of the food shortage, and at a time when the administration is appealing for international food aid. So goes Africa.
Last month as Cliff and I waited in the bush plane in the dry barren Samburu area, we gave thanks-thanks for the mercy God shows to those who heard and believed the gospel. Their simple faith is a beautiful thing to see.
We also gave thanks for Joseph, a bright young Samburu man who connects the Word of God through culture and language as no Western missionary can.
