For those of you who know how to play Mingle Mingle Mingle you know its a great mixer game with handshakes and then a mad dash to get a certain number of people in your group and then on a knee. Since they had times scheduled for games I volunteered to introduce a few new ones. However .... I have never led this activity in a field full of cow patties..... you see ....this camp is being held at a private school who is not in session. The school owns 5 cows for milking purposes and they freely roam the campus to graze..... Didn't matter though .... I now know Mingle Mingle Mingle is loved universally.
It is amazing how many worship songs these kids already know ....and love. It sure has made my job a lot easier. There are two lovely and talented young ladies who lead the Kenyan songs and they will be helping me ....we had a great rehearsal and they are quick studies on learning the echo parts ....not to mention the incredible harmony they add.
A local pastor from eldoret spoke today and since I've taught leadership and directed leadership camps I feel qualified to recognize a motivator. This pastor had those teenagers undivided attention ....as well as mine .... for over an hour ....trust me when I tell you that is no simple task .... He will be back for round two tomorrow ..... and I can't wait.
Good news on the luggage front ..... it will arrive tonight and I will pick it up tomorrow. At this point I'm just glad they found it.
Those of you who know me well....especially my Lakeside friends.... understand my love of corn on the cob... so there was no way I could pass up the opportunity you see in the picture.... however there should be laws enforcing jail sentences on people who turn an ear of corn into what I tasted ... luckily my cab driver was more than happy to finish every kernel.
Prayer request are as follows ..... continued uniting of hearts and minds. These teenagers and kids are serious about experiencing all God has to offer. My voice is a little tired from several worship sessions today.... so pray that it will hold up!
I hope all is well back in the USA!

John,
Even some of the non-Lakeside folk know of your affinity for "corn", the eddibile kind too. :)
If you are pushing your voice, then you are truely "putting your back into" Gods work, and from the smiles I've witnessed in the photos his plan is working quite well.
The blog idea was a great one. Keep up the great work and know you are your mission are on our minds and in our prayers.
