It's been a busy weekend at Kipkaren, and the NewSong team have been able to observe some of the day-to-day ministry happening in our village.On Friday night, they danced into the night with the children from the Children's Home and the Salvation Army Band that came for the AIDS campaign the next day. They were up early on Saturday to join the Kids' Camp (a one-day VBS-type event), after which they headed out to the campaign. They managed not to get caught in the typical afternoon rain storm. This photo of the team was taken right before they left the campaign. The sky was looking pretty ominous by then...
Today, Dan preached in church. (Diane caught a local virus that took her voice away for a bit. Please pray that her voice will hold up the rest of the week.) After lunch, the team enjoyed resting. They played Phase 10 with some of us ELI missionaries in the new visitor's gazebo by the river.
This week will be a busy one for them. Diane is teaching at the staff devotions. Then, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, she, Duke and Peggy are doing 3-hour seminars for ELI parents and community members on parenting adolescents. Diane and Peggy will be leading the Monday afternoon women's meeting, too. Dan's been leading devotions at the children's home.
I'm sure they'll write an update tomorrow or sometime soon so you can hear from them how things are going. They're doing wonderfully, though, and we're blessed to have them here.
