I’ve found a part of me, somewhere northwest of Nairobi within South Kinangop, in a small village called Kang’utu. Within the houses made of stone or dirt and wood, I’ve discovered a “Southern” like charm, that's inexpressible to even a gal of Bama roots. The generosity and love of this small village is that ’something’ I always long for, childhood simplicity. After five months of living in Africa, I'm finally home and I will have an opportunity to do what I love, evangelism.
The evangelistic work was from 6.30 in the morning until about 10 in the evening. The daily schedule included, morning group worship & prayer, exercise, breakfast, choir practice, visitations, lunch , evangelistic meetings, evening worship, dinner and lastly prayers and daily reports. The daily messages were from 3 to 6 and included the gospel, the health message, family life, and prophecy. At the close of the two weeks meetings, eleven people were baptized and received Christ as their personal Savior.
If a person was ever created for a particular work…than I was created for this work, for people. My entire inside has a way of smiling when I meet someone. My heart has an unreasonable way of loving even the newest of friends. Taking care of others,cooking, talking about GOD and helping others seems to refresh my heart like nothing else. I sincerely love seeing and helping others smile…
Apparently, I’ve never lost that tempestuous way of handing goodbyes. The way that should only be known to a child, is known of me. I miss people in an extremely difficult manner. So to say the least, I already miss my new missionary friends and the families of Kang’utu.
I hope to see them soon,
Tomiko
