Duruma
Christians at the church in Chigato celebrate the completion of the first issue of the New
Testament translated into the Duruma language. The Duruma tribe is a sister tribe to the
Giriama.
|
Though Abigail is the only
American in her primary school, she’s happy and fits in well. |
Margaret Kihara is not a
Giriama. She’s a Kikuyu, historically an enemy tribe of the Giriama. Yet she is
giving her life in service to the Girama, working with the youth and widows of the Malindi
church. She is very much loved.. |
Few Giriama women know how to
swim and many have never been in water deeper than their shins. This frightened woman is
assisted by two friends as she is baptized into Christ. |

Saturday
Night At The Movies |
| Mwangudza and Skuli were two
worldly old men who had experienced just about everything. Now they are babes in Christ at
the new church at Musumarini. |
Uzima Chrisitan Training
Center will soon be offering computer classes to help young people obtain a little
keyboard education. Mike Karabu (standing) will be heading up the computer school. Seated
is Moses Mwingo, one of the directors of UCTC. |
These
women walked 5 or 6 miles with babies on their back to attend a one-day women’s
seminar. Women are generally so eager for spiritual food and fellowship that they will go
great distances to get it. |
Emmanuel Mweni works on the
church building at Kaoyeni. |
These Duruma women would not
smile for the camera, though they broke into laughter as soon as the picture was taken. |
Moses
Mwinga, Daniel Chengo and a Christian from the Chilulu congregation set up the movie
projector and generator to show the “Jesus” film to a crowd of several hundred.
The movie projector was donated to the work by a Christian in Midland,
Texas. |

that they can afford. |

Steven Ngumbao, with his wife
and 5 of their 10 children stand outside the Bore (pronounced bor-ray) Church of Christ. |
The Mombasa churches are
experiencing a renewal of fellowship with each other – something that has been
lacking in recent years. There have also been 3 new churches planted in different parts of
the city this past year. |
Some sweet ladies start working
on an after-church meal that probably won’t be ready until 4 p.m. |
Karabu wa Heke used to be a palm
wine tapper who was usually drunk with his wares. His wife was a witchdoctor who said she
could tell fortunes by talking to an evil spirit in a gourd. It’s been over 10 years
since they became Christians and found new ways to spend their time. |

A Cup Of Tea? |
Hand In Hand. |
| Tim and Rueben Jamasi discuss
some of the problems facing families in urban Kenya. |
Tim teaches a block course to
church leaders at the Uzima Christian Training Center. |
This picture of these young boys
at Sunday school at the Malindi church was taken about 8 years ago. Now they are young men
who are preaching and leading singing. |
The children from the
Chilulu church sing a song for the congregation. Abigail enjoyed singing with them, but
just didn’t inherit any rhythm from her parents. |
Kevin, Abigail and Diana take
a break from play at a church fellowship to enjoy a hot cup of tea. |
Abigail finds a friend to guide
her down unfamiliar streets. |

| Elizabeth, Deb, and Abigail with
the Sunday School class at Dalajan. |
While at school it would
be difficult to tell that Abigail is an American. She uses an African accent and her
vocabulary is sprinkled with Swahili and Arabic words. However, here the LCU cap is a dead
give away. |
Deborah poses with her best
friends, Nyawira (left), Omazi and Sheena. |
Elizabeth poses with her
school’s Bible study group. Though Christians of any kind are in the minority among
the mostly Hindu and Muslim students and staff, prayer is encouraged. |
Tim contemplates a plate
of stir fried caterpillars offered to him. Crunchy on the outside, gooey on the inside! |
A Giriama Christian holds
Tim’s hand as he walks him to the car. Holding hands with members of the same sex is
a sign of friendship and comradeship in Africa. |
