Good Friends

That's my good friend Patrick and his family. Marty and I had the opportunity to take them out to dinner at the Safari Park Hotel while we were in Nairobi. It was the first night of our crusade and Eunice, Patrick's wife, had come forward for prayer after the message. The moon was HUGE, the weather perfect and I was praying with friends... then we had the opportunity to eat together. Patrick and his wife showed off the kids jackets- said that Debi had sent them for Christmas- what do I know? Then he started asking about so many of the past Kenya teams from Central Community by name: Tom and Ellen, Rosie, Chris, John, Pastor Israel, Pastor Ken... I couldn't help but think, "What a trip! I'm sitting in Nairobi, with a Kenyan friend, asking me about "my" friends, 12,000 miles away. God is too good. His Kingdom beyond our understanding. The fellowship of believers way better than we ever deserve.

The great blogs are over at Pastor Ken's, John's and Matt's spots - be sure to check them out- they've got video and everything. Matt's is so real I thought I'd catch a cold just watching it. Me, I can't believe I figured out how to upload this photo of a good friend I love. My "brother from another mother." I hope you'll meet him someday- here visiting us- or all of us together in Kenya. God's connecting us around the world and He's doing it as only He can. It's so good to belong to one another.

blessings,
