Maili Saba
Baptist Church.

| Thankfully Maili Saba
was only a short ride from Isiolo down a paved road. Maili
Saba means mile seven. We met in the main town area under an
acacia tree to sing and pray. Then we split up again.
My group started by crossing a little stream of water and then
heading out through farmland and plowed fields. Plenty of
rocks, thorns, and dirt to go around. We had many good
conversations with people. Including one with a Catholic man
who was very intelligent. He asked about how the Baptist
church started in America and thankfully Pastor Paul knew the
answer to that one. He also asked me about president Bush
and said that he is good at fighting Sadam. It kind of blew
me away that a man in a little hut in Africa knew so much about
what was going on in the world. He may have known/cared more
than many Americans do. (See his house below.) We also
encountered a very welcoming family of farmers working in their
field. And another family that were already Christians that
asked us to pray for their drunkard neighbors who are causing
problems.
We had a church service in the afternoon which seemed to go well. A few of us did a skit on Adam and Eve and everyone seemed to enjoy it. We also had a sermon.
