Today, May 20th, we did two major things. First was visiting City Harvest for church service. Church service began at 10:30am and ended around 1:00pm. It was a long service but well worth it. Pastor Ben preached a sermon on temptation. And it was amazing to hear a sermon across the world that was so on point to the very issues we deal with on a daily basis. While our lifestyles in America may be very different from those of the people here in Kenya, we all deal with personal temptation in our own way. It's amazing to see God work across the world and God's Word spread even in Kenya. I appreciated service and Pastor Ben giving very relevant points to deal with temptation of being discerning of the work of the devil vs. God's work and recognizing the temptation so that you can gain the willpower to resist. The people were so kind hearted and welcoming to us coming to their church. After church service at City Harvest it was time to hit the Massai Market. This is a market with several vendors selling many products from shirts, jewelry, scarfs, masks, paintings, and so much more. The point is to barter with the people selling the products. It was an interesting and one of a kind experience. It was great to name your price but a little nerve wrecking to have people pull you into their products. Some people would over price just to see how many shillings your willing to spend, and very few offer a price that their product is worth in my opinion. But it was great to support people, especially since most of it was their own artwork or service and it is how they make a living.
