Spiritual Hunger in Bondo

Last Thursday, a small group of Christians from the Bondo area asked the Kajulu church to conduct a Bible Study for them. We packed various church members into two vans, piled some chairs on top of the one van and headed out on a beautiful afternoon. It was about an 1 1/2 hours drive half way around Lake Victoria into the country. We drove through the Sami Valley where many HUGE rocks were stacked and arranged in such a way that only God could have done it. When was it done? At creation or the flood? The trip ended with the road narrowing down to a rugged one lane, then a brush- scraggled foot path where you thought no vans could go. Relief filled our hearts when we suddenly met some expectant faces waiting in a small clearing. It was a typical mountian setting.



The group consisted of about 40 people. We were half of them, but that was alright.

We did some singing for awhile. This is the Luo songbook with many familair hymns in it.

The crowd listened intently. The hunger showed on their faces. Afterwards when asked for testimony the man in charge (below) stated his disappointment in not many showing up. He pleaded with us not to give up on them but to continue coming. It ws touching. If more Americans could feel their hearts there would be more on the misson field. Let those already there not grow weary because the fields are white with harvest.
