This week brought us back to the
Landmark Baptist Church of Mawe Tatu to put the finishing touches on the new
baptism pool. Since these remote interior villages do not have
Home Depot or Lowe's I brought a few of the items they needed to complete the
project from Eldoret, ie: gate valve for drain and water proofing
material that they mixed with the cement for the final coating.
They had also bought one hundred more bricks which added a couple more
courses to get the proper depth for baptism pool. Pastor Shadrach & Pastor Japheth
We worked, laughed and even joked about what Pastor’s
neighbors might think about this new pool by the creek on his farm since this is
something of a new and an unusual project for the area. I thought
they might think it was a new ”cattle dip” for the area rather than a “Christian
dip”. Our working relationship with these folks can best be
described as harmonious and joyful and my heart tells me it is one of the purest
relationships we have ever experienced. This week
we were blessed with two very special visitors that came to visit us
for fellowship and worship services.
Ernie Hopper Teaching
Ernie and Cissy Hopper have
been Missionaries to Kenya for around twenty~five years and being one of the
younger missionaries in our associated work we were honored that they would come
to see what God is and has done with us and through us. It was
also good to see them visit with some of our folks whom they had known from
their time spent in the Western Province.
Terry and Cissy
We were also able to
visit the Landmark Baptist Church of Namarambi and the Landmark Baptist Church
of Ndivisi for two services which made a long but Spirit filled day.

Ernie is the consummate Bible teacher and has a true grasp on African
culture.
It was good for Terry to have fellowship with Sister
Cissy and we were so proud to listen to their observations of the work we have
done over the last four years.
We long for the day when we hear
our Heavenly Father say,
“well done thy good and faithful servants”, but every
person from time to time needs some affirmation with regard to the work they are
doing and it is especially important to us coming from veteran
missionaries.
Our already long day of worship was extended by a
broken fan belt on the Land Cruiser but as Missionaries of over twenty five
years the Hoppers where graceful and totally understanding.
What can I
say other than it is always an adventure.

Thank you for allowing us to
share snap shots into our lives and ministry here in Kenya as we serve the King
of Kings and Lord of Lords. Terry & Namesake, 'Terry'....
