Late entry – 13\/11\/2022
\nOn the 12th of November 2022, I arrived at the Nairobi airport at 6 AM after a 5hr straight flight from Accra, Ghana. This trip started with a mixture of indifferent feelings with regards to my expectations on arrival. <\/span><\/p>\n

On arrival, I was quite surprised to find the disparity in weather patterns in Kenya as compared to that which was found in Ghana. All the same, I prepared well by carrying along some warm clothes.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the airport, moving through passport control and baggage claim was swift and smooth. Outside the airport, I was met by kind Mr. Ephraim who help me get a SIM card and transported me to Bomet.
\nThe journey was about 5hrs to Bomet. During the trip I was very intrigued by the scenery. Which included, the Nairobi National park, the famous Rift Valley and a glimpse of the famous Masai people and their culture. Through these, I came to appreciate for a fact that KENYA is the pride of Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On arrival at Bomet I was so elated on seeing the commmunity and the hospital in which I would be serving for the next month.At my place of accommodation the scenery, the atmosphere, wonderful missionaries and doctors I met just made me feel so much at home.<\/span><\/p>\n

After settling in, lunch was served, after which I had a tour around the hospital by a benevolent senior colleague. At that point my indifferent feelings were directed and guided to a more good and expectant feeling. <\/span><\/p>\n

Later that evening , I made more friends notable among them , was a missionary husband and wife from Cote d\u2019Ivoire. We worshiped into the night on the guitar and piano, singing Ghanaian songs, French songs and local songs alike\u00a0 <\/span>and they gave me good pieces of advice and a better orientation of the\u00a0 <\/span>core values at Tenwek Hospital of which I eagerly looked forward to.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Sunday, came and it was such an awesome time in God\u2019s presence worshiping in Swahili and English. This experience gave me a perspective on how heaven would be someday with a plethora of individuals joined in one accord to worship. The word that day was Infact very timely, where the Revend spoke about \u201cJesus Christ as a missionary\u201d thereby widening my scope to how best\u00a0 <\/span>I could emulate Christ in a hospital that at \u201ctreats and allows Jesus to heal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I do with utmost desire anticipate a tremendous experience here at Tenwek for the next four weeks and really look forward to impacting lives, being impacted, gathering knowledge and skills from this beautiful community.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
