Visit News

First of all we have had a wonderful and enriching visit to Nakuru strengthening our links with St Paul's Normain.

Programme: Our programme has been very full and varied. The area of St Paul's covers a very varied area including a large slum as well as some better housing. We have visited members of the congregation, shared in prayer meetings and bible studies, helped out on a house building project, participating in worship and taking an Alpha workshop as well as other seminars {and many other things}.

Projects: We have also visited some Diocesan projects. At the St Nicholas Children's Home, an orphanage for teenagers} we had a great time not only getting to know the children but also participating in a vigorous game of volleyball.

Visits: We then visited one of the poorest parts of the diocese where approx 99% are not Christians. We also managed a day in Lake Nakuru National Park where the highlight, apart from our van getting stuck in the mud / stream, was seeing thousands of pink flamingos. Of course experiencing a different culture is always challenging, however the best thing that we have done is pay a visit.

St Paul's Normain: The vicar, Rev Joseph, as well as his congregation have been incredibly welcoming and accommodating to all of us. We feel that our partnership in the gospel has grown and developed significantly. We will look to develop our partnership in deeper ways in the near future.

The team visiting Kenya have received the attached thank-you letter and photos from the girls' rescue home they visited last week. The visit and gifts were very much appreciated - the girls are wearing the t-shirts donated by a member of St Mark's in the photos.
