Lodwar Day 2

Today we were the guests of honor at the church service where there was traditional tribal praise and worship at the Liberty Hill Church – Lodwar. This is called the IDP which stands for Internally Displaced People which was a direct result of the uprising and riots after the 2007 elections where homes and land were taken by corrupt people. Steve and Jim had an opportunity to deliver the Word and let them know that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life and no man comes to Father except through Him – even those that the government considers forgotten people because in God's eyes none are forgotten. After the service, we went to the Taqwah River where Steve and Jim had the awesome opportunity to baptize 14 Turkana people as a profession of their acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Savior of their life in front of the celebrating village. We later drove into the bush to visit a remote village and fed 75 families with a portion of beans and corn maize – what a fantastic experience. So many more stories to share when we get home. Here is a sampling of pictures in the next blog.
