Day 1 at Endtimes Harvest
Saturday, September 04, 2010, 5:00pm Bungoma Time
Just finished the day at Endtimes Harvest Discipleship where Bishop Ogara is the Pastor. Today we had a leadership seminar and there was about 30 people in attendance. We had our first session this morning and then we took a short break and it was on to the second session. After a little teaching about Jewish traditions we broke for lunch and had some fellowship together over cuckoo and chips (actually French-fries but they refer to them as chips) and then a jelly sandwich to chase it all down with the hot tea. I don’t think I’ve mentioned that they have hot tea several times a day here. It’s the British influence from when the British came over and took over Africa. I’m really enjoying the tea though. So after a good lunch it was time to meet with just the men. We had about 18 in there and it was fun. I don’t every use notes on these talks I just get up and start talking about what I’ve learned over the years. I always enjoy these talks and usually when I’m done I’ll open it up to questions and it’s amazing the questions that come up. I’m not going to say what they are but they are always good questions that just deal with real life situations. We went for about an hour and half just talking about the role of men and specifically the role of men in marriage and the church. Afterwards we walked home from the church and it was interesting to be able to walk the streets and see some more of the city. Bungoma actually has over 400,000 people in it which makes it larger than Little Rock’s population and yet the square area is much, much smaller. There are crowds wherever you go here. Some tonight is some down time and prep for tomorrow which is teaching tomorrow morning at Endtimes and then after my message the women are wanting to set up the projector and watch the message from Jamie so we’re going to do that. I know that they will really enjoy it. I have some studying to do so I’m getting the blog done a little early and with hopes of getting to bed before 11:00pm. Thanks for all the prayers!
