The Long Road…Teleios/Grace Africa ’07

May 29, 2007 | Kenya, Nyeri Baptist Church

Day 4 …And We're Off Again

Tuesday, the journey takes us to Nyeri to meet Peter Wanjohi, pastor of the Nyeri Baptist Church, and to see Bernard Kabaru’s homeplace and meet his mother.

The rollercoaster roads did not shake the sight of the slums that line the river of Nyeri - 15,000 people in wooden and rusting metal homes. Still, we were met with generally friendly faces. The Grace Team spent quite some time shaking the hands of kindergarten children as they cried out, “muthungu, muthungu!” which translates as “white persons, white persons.”

What a challenging but joyous day!
