Through the Seasons

English Christian Fellowship

I’m so excited.  One of the biggest challenges here is church.  There are many Swahili churches to choose from.  But.  They’re in Swahili.  Haha.  Not only that, the teaching is sometimes…off…  (Such as…  One preacher claimed the point of the Good Samaritan is that you shouldn’t be out walking alone…) 

But we just found out they are starting an English Christian Fellowship which means it is run by the “ex-pats” (Westerners) in the area.  It will be every other week on Sunday afternoon.  Us mothers have a plan to maybe rotate kiddie duty so we don’t all miss the service every week.  I mean, we can still pay attention to the service but it would be a treat to be able to fully focus on worship for an hour a month.  (That doesn’t seem like too lofty a goal, does it?)

So I’m grateful to God for providing this opportunity for the English speakers in this area.  I pray the locals here who also don’t speak Swahili as their first language will one day be able to worship God in their own language as well.
