It was a good weekend to visit one of the congregations in the ELCK. I traveled with the principal, deputy principal and four students from Atemo Bible College to the Transmara area. We visited a congregation in Isokon, Kenya. It was a mere 51/2 hour drive. Two hours on “good road” and 3 ½ on rocky, rutted and potholed road. Indeed it was a joy to visit with this Massai congregation which is home to one of our evangelists and first year students at Matongo.
We were treated with the usual welcome meal and spend the observing their childrens program. I spent the night in the home of the congregational leader. They were truly welcoming. Sunday morning service was to start at 10am and about 10 before 10am one of the students wanted to take us to the overlook to the Mara. It was truly beautiful to see the Mara from above. So needless to say, the service began at 10:30ish after we arrived. We had hoped to start the service early (ha, ha) so that we could depart soon and arrive home before dark. Service, though, was three hours and by the time we ate and visited the home of our evangelist in training we departed at 3pm. Overall it was a great trip to visit with God’s people in Isokon and to preach God’s Word of Law and Gospel pointing the Christians to Christ Jesus.
