4 sisters...

Lately God has laid it on my heart to go out into Kibera on Thursdays to talk to some of these "mama's" I've met at taylor shops and fruit stands.  I already have some type of relationship with them.  They at least know my face, so why not? 

Finally,  last week the Lord told me that this Thursday was the day.  I was planning to go by myself because I thought Shauna might be busy.  She asked me about my plans for Thursday and I told her.  She, too, had been having the same urging.  So together we went yesterday.   We had both been with the guys to watch them evangelize... now it was our turn.  We went separately from the guys because we were taking some new friends back to their house.  Once we got there... before we ever set foot on the ground we prayed over our soon to be attempts at sharing the love of Christ.  Neither of us claimed any type of knowledge or know-how to do this.  We were truly going on faith in hopes of being obedient.  We arrived at a particular taylor that had been on my heart all week.  Come to find our it was 2 sisters.  They weren't doing anything so we made small talk.  Then I began to lead into a series of questions I had heard Chris begin with.  Honestly, I expected to get tangled in my words and super nervous.  What if I mess up?  None of that happened.  I felt the presence of God there with us.  I was able to stay focused on the conversation and answer their questions.  Shauna and I were able to feed off of one another.  They asked some great questions and seemed to understand.  It wasn't easy though.  We did not have an interpreter so we had to go off of our tiny bit of swahili and their little english.  It took us the whole entire time to witness to these mamas.  But you know what?  We entered and met 2 sisters... we left 4 sisters in Christ.  We have made plans to go back and visit them next week to see how their discipleship material is coming along.  

Praise the Lord for His gentle nudges to get out and do more...
