Teaching in Aduku

Back into the van we piled for a quick, one hour drive to Aduku. We were warned, however, that this was bad road, which was somewhat disconcerting after the other roads we had encountered. After some lengthy introductions (2 ½ hours), we went into our teaching.

In Aduku, Donny met a young woman with one half of her face completely scarred. When he met her, she had a simply radiant smile, and made the comment, “God is good.” Donny responded, “God is good?” And she said, “Yes! God is good. That is His nature!”

This evening, some friends of the church were already starting to gather for Thursday’s anniversary celebration. One man arrived from Kenya, the academic dean of Kenya Baptist Seminary. His president recently charged him with the task of finding a PhD. in education for the school. When he met Gary Angell he started the hard sell, sure that Gary was the one (Martha, you might start working on your Swahili).
