Samahani, everyone!

Hi all -

What this blog post is entitled is a heart-felt apology to you for having left many of you hanging waiting for news as to my trip home. The word, samahani, means I am sorry for having offended you. 

I meant to get back to blogging right  away, but for a while, after the 38-hour door to door trip and readjusting to having been 7 time zones away, just set me off kilter in a number of ways both physically and nonphysically.

I also other things involved with getting reacclimated in my personal and pastoral life to block blogging. Again, "samahani", for any worry or frustration that I may have caused.

The children of the Kera church!

I am now at our Community Vacation Bible School, put on by the Verona area churches, staffed by volunteers from those and several other churches and right now being attended by a great group of kids, very much the children I met in the SDB churches of Kenya! (Two groups of them are pictured in this entry.)

I will begin to continue the blog this week with new stories and photos and trust that as God leads others to pray, provide and participate in the ongoing work of the SDB Kenyan Conference, that this blog will serve as a communication point for the same.

The children of the Igorera church!

Thank you for your prayer coverage that saw me to and through this foundational SDB Kenyan Connection mission trip and for the future that God is orchestrating for them as one of 20 different SDB Conferences around the world!
