After loading the two vehicles at the CAPRO School Of Missions on the outskirts of Nairobi, we were off at 6:15, Friday morning. But … the trip was not to be smooth, even without considering the pot holed roads! Around 9:00 pm, just under fifteen hours later, we pulled into the yard of the house where I (David) was to run the TIMO orientation and Language Acquisition course in North Eastern Kenya. At 8:00 am the next morning, we started the TIMO Orientation. We finished the language acquisition course the following Saturday at around 6:00 in the evening. It was an amazing time! Six Kenyans from four tribes, a couple from Rwanda with four kids, a couple from Sudan with two children and a Nigerian CAPRO Trainer overseeing it all! The team shared a house with several other individuals already living there, packed into every open space, while the CAPRO Trainer and I shared a room at a nearby neighbor’s home. Hot? Wow! It was incredible!….. Even at 6:00 am it was still hot! But it was great! I was thrilled to see the team work through the philosophies of language and culture which is focused on building relationships that allow them to share Jesus. To see them become excited about the opportunity that lay before them, entering as learners, to see a people impacted for Christ, was worth it all! Sunday afternoon they moved into their village to begin implementing all that they have learned. I have been privileged to have a part in this exciting venture. Join us in praying for the Upper Pokomo team; their health, courage, strength and wisdom, as they live to see this tribe reached for Jesus! Pray that this model will be an effective example that other organizations will become excited about using!   DH
