A Busy Weekend

Shem, Jared, Tom and I (the team of Baptist Volunteers in Missions) made a mad-dash trip to visit teams on the field this weekend. We made the 7 hour drive (on the lovely Kenyan roads) to Awendo, in South Nyanza District, to see a medical team from North Carolina. This is an amazing team that comes every year, treating approximately 4,000 patients in a five-day period, dispensing over $3,000 worth of medicine! It takes a whole day of prep work just to get medicine organized and ready to see patients. Unfortunately, they did not start treating patients until Monday, but I did get to spend time with them and some of the locals of Awendo.


On Sunday, we went to visit another team from Tennessee who has been doing evangelism near Homa Bay, Kenya. We met up with them at “church.” They were teaching at a new church that currently meets under trees.

They have an open-air service after the Bible classes.

Aren't these cute little mamas? The siblings always take such good care of the little ones here.

After the main service, we joined them at the river for over a dozen baptisms! That was a little added bonus surprise blessing. It is so much fun to re-join the teams on the field to see the fruit of the Lord’s work!
