TRINITY KLEIN LUTHERAN CHURCH

4 groups went to 4 different locations 

A church in Nairobi we visited Sunday

Nairobi is a big city, but people are all outside on the streets living, walking, herding.

And they still have primitive cooking.

Typical meal may include: ugali, cabbage, meat on bone, lentils, chapati

We were stationed in Maai Mahiu (2 hrs from Nairobi)

Eyeglasses Station

Reading Glasses Station

There was also the Autorefractor Station

To pray with the people in Triage was really special for me.

 I worked with LHM evangelist, helpers/translators, and eventually they just sent me the English-speakers.

They have so little, their faith means so much.

Preschool recess means time to roll tires!

The kids were curious/fascinated with us “mzugus” or foreign white people

We had some Maasai patients

Tea & cake break

Kenyan tea brewed in milk and 3 slices of American an bread with margarine 

Love the mudflaps

We visited a very raw hospital.

They used a room off the maternity ward for cataract surgeries.

In our clinic alone:

2723 people served!!!

Provided 96 cataract surgeries and 162 people accepted Jesus as their savior!!

Mungu Akubariki sana!!
