Africa '99 - Medical Mission to Kenya

During the summer of 2001 i got involved with a medical missions team. destination: Kenya length of stay: one month (way too short). the following posts are straight copies from my paperback journal that i had kept. i tried my best to write even though i was too sick most of the time. after going through this experience i vowed to always carry a good camera where ever i go, cuz disposable cameras are not that great and not very reliable. enjoy.

Last day for crusade

It was also the third and last day for the crusade - sponsored by a branch of the Agape Fellowship Center church (1 out of 20 some churches). God placed a volleyball game before and during the crusade, so attendance was high (several hundred). Most people would stand and watch from the perimeter of the town's "central park," leaning against old buildings in the shade. A few people, including myself, approached everybody and handed out "tracks" - essentially the gospel in Swahili and English. All this while pastors (and Dale) gave there message on a crudely built stage. Like I said, everybody was exposed to the gospel one way or the other. Tracks were given and shared with the locals; volleyball players, the homeless, the sick, and even the obviously diseased. Pastor George, who became the pastor of a brand new branch of Agape Fellowship Center (I guess a sister church) personally broke up the volleyball crowd and requested/demanded that the game must end. Five minutes later, the crowd dissipated, leftovers from the volleyball tournament remained - Dale was sharing the gospel at that time.
