Having arrived in Nairobi and bought several dozen bibles locally in the Maa language, we went to a church not far from the capitol. To my surprise, when asked: “Who among you can read?”, Only a few out of a hundred people raised their hands. When asked: “Do you want to receive the Bible as a gift?” Everybody raised their hands! I promised to give the Bible to each of them if they learn how to read! After encouraging them with an example from my personal life, and telling them how I learned English, we left. In July of this year, we started literacy lessons and we had 25 students. We hired teachers for this and the first lessons are were held in the recently constructed building! Thank God for that!
