For 3 days, Sat, Mon & Tues, we had a conference for the women here at our hotel in Bondo. It was from 2 - 4 in the afternoon, since many of the women work in the fields before that time. They walk here and one women walked 7 miles to get here! They don't all arrive on time, but more came each day. By the last day, they were really relaxed and enjoying themselves. We have tea together afterwards.
God really used Gloria to speak to them and many shared with us through a translator (usually Judith). Many are widows and almost all have lost family members in the recent past. Life is hard here for them. They have to purchase any clean water and cooking is done outside most of the time. But they love God and appreciate his word.
Yesterday we tried to buy some Bibles in the Luo language but couldn't find any. Judith will have to find some in Nairobi. So many of the women do not have Bibles and would love to have them. Those who do have them, have worn copies, some missing whole books! I'll have many stories to share about these women when I return!
