Worship in Spirit and in Truth...

"Many are the places of worship, but few indeed are those who worship in Spirit and in Truth."

  "To worship God in truth is to recognize Him for being who He is, and to recognize ourselves for who we are." Brother Lawrence

   "Worship:  Where God isn't moved by the quality of our voice but by the condition of our hearts." Chris Tomlin

    I've been thinking recently about true worship... probably because Wayne has had several messages on the subject recently.  Here in Kenya we see (and hear!) many people who are very fervent about worshiping in Spirit, but we have to wonder are they worshiping in Truth?  And are we?  Truth requires obedience and that's what so many people don't want.  Self dies too hard.  Lord help us to be true worshipers!!  

   It's hot and feels bone dry here in Kisumu!  We have to water the plants we want to keep alive.  Thankfully most of our churches are living in areas that have received more rain than Kisumu.  Thank God!  I'd rather that we are the ones to suffer from drought than those who are depending on the rains to put food on their tables.  There are some though who will be suffering!  

   Wed. a week ago found our family heading to Nakuru for the annual CBYC (Christian Believers Youth Conference) that was held at the new, still unfinished, Lamp and Light building.  There were around 48 youth in attendance there, including the missionary youth.  Wayne was asked to replace Mark Beachy on the Board, so his presence was needed there so he knows a bit of what goes on before he is partly responsible next year.  We spent our nights at the empty house in the AMA compound.  It was wonderful to have a place to ourselves and to have Tony's within walking distance. We were so blessed with what we saw and heard at CBYC! For the most part the youth were respectful and they definitely heard some good solid teaching! The highlight for us as a family was the singing!!! Mark is an excellent chorus director and his enthusiasm for singing was contagious. We were privileged to hear their program on Sat. eve and also Sun. morning. We enjoyed spending time with the Nakuru folks. There were quite a few natives there who knew Mahlon and Ruth well so we were privileged to meet them. I enjoyed spending some time with the cooks as they made huge amounts of food over fires. I was impressed with the willingness of the Mzungu youth to live 
differently then they are accustomed to for 10 days... showers from buckets or basins, hand-washing clothes, not so nice cho's, and only Kenyan food.  Bradlyn got SO dirty there because the huge piles of sand/dirt were great entertainment for him!  It was a bit chilly there some days and we were glad for sweaters and jackets!  My girls and I spent a day at Judith's house baking Christmas cookies. It was a nice feeling to come home with plenty to put in the freezer and also have some to share. I also got a dress sewed for Vanessa while in Nakuru! Clarissa was impressed with what she saw at CBYC and looks forward to being a student next year. The conference lasted for 10 days but we were only there from Wed. through Sunday. 

  Monday morning after we came home from Nakuru we Kisumu ladies left at 8:30 to go to Luanda to do some fabric shopping.  The main purpose was to restock some fabric for the clothing room.  That market is one of the "craziest" that I have ever been to!  People everywhere!  And carts being pushed roughly down narrow aisles. If you don't get out of the way FAST you will likely be hit from behind. Sometimes I fell onto the pile of fabric or had to step right on it.  We got weary of digging through the chaotic mess of fabric all jumbled together.  But the cheap prices seem to make it worth it and we made memories too! :)  After leaving there we headed to Mary Ellen's house to spend some time with her and have a tea party before they leave for home this week.  The food was great! So many pretty and yummy things to eat but we're sad to see Mary Ellen go.  She has been a blessing to me in many ways and I would describe her as an encourager. Although we will miss them I'm happy for them that they can go home and be reunited with the rest of their family across the big waters.  We had a farewell for them here at the compound on Fri. eve.  There was a volleyball game for the youth and we also had a time of sharing and then some wonderful homemade ice cream and toppings!  We've been enjoying Stacy Byler's family who is here from Seymour, Missouri. Their 3 extra youth helped add some spice to the volleyball games. I should have mentioned that on Fri. afternoon Wayne went to Chulaimbo where he was asked to preach at their Revival service.  JoeAllen went with him to show his support.

   On Wed. Wayne and I headed to the Kajulu area for Bible study at Zitune's house.  The house was situated in a pretty area close to the foot of the famous Monkey stone.  We had nyoyo and chapatis for a snack.  Later that eve. we were invited to Joe's for chapatis and beans since Glenda wanted to do something for my Birthday coming up the next day. 
  
  My Birthday is a day that I won't forget right away!  Wayne and l left around 7:00 that morning to head to Longisa (beyond Bomet) which is not real far from Tenwek hospital and also along the way to the Mara.  There was a huge youth conference held there at a Boy's school... between 7 and 800 youth!  Wayne was asked to preach and we took 800 Bibles with us to pass out!  We were welcomed royally... in fact I almost cringed with the "overboard" treatment of the Mzungu. We were ushered right up onto a high stage where a group of Pastor's was sitting with suitcoats on... in spite of the heat!  They whistled, clapped, and cheered for us!  It was intimidating for me to sit there facing a sea of black faces!!  But I soon relaxed and Wayne preached a good message on "The Truth About Victory."  They spent a fair amount of time singing... and that's putting it mildly!!  It was more like screaming, hollering, whistling, DANCING, and oh the racket!!! I have never seen or heard anything like it!  Imagine a sea of people all swaying and dancing!  Amazing!  The music was SO FRIGHTFUL loud that I feared for our ear drums, but didn't have the heart to close my ears for fear of offending them.  They were definitely in a spirit of worship but I hope there was TRUTH there too!  It was an an amazing experience to be sure! :)  And then of all things... they said they wanted to hear the voice of the wife of Wayne!  So I had to say a few words in front of all those people!  Thankfully I had thought of the possibility of that happening so I had prepared a bit! :)  We were served our lunch of rice and beef in a building with the rest of the Pastor's and guest speakers.  They were all so thankful that we came and I sincerely hope that they will all read their Bibles and allow it to change their lives!


     There has been some excitement in Kisumu this past week with the opening of a brand new American restaurant!!  A real KFC!!!  We didn't know a thing about it until it had opened!  We ate there last evening for my belated Birthday supper!  It was WONDERFUL!! :)  The food was great and the breeze outside was so nice and pleasant!  And there wasn't loud, obnoxious music blaring like there often is in this town.  Sometimes I just long for blessed quietness.

   This morning we attended Rabour's service.  Wayne preached a message on "King of the Mountain." He shared traits of humble, godly leadership. Brian and Maria Wagler and family were there too, as well as Kore Beachy. We enjoyed hosting them at our house for lunch.  May God bless you all with a good week!  Clara for the Yoders

Passing on the Faith......

  "The wise man must remember that while he is a descendant of the past, he is a parent of the future. Herbert Spacer

    "The greatest legacy one can pass on to one's children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one's life, but rather a legacy of character and faith." Billy Graham

   "We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done." Ps. 78:4

   Wayne preached a challenging message this morning at Ahero on passing the faith to our children. How is the church to continue after we are gone if our children don't accept the faith? One of the negative examples given was that of Esau, who foolishly forfeited the rights of a firstborn for a bowl of soup that gave him pleasure and strength for a few fleeting hours.  What are we trading our "eternal inheritance for"?  We have been troubled since we came by the absence of many children in church services.  I recently talked to Charles' wife Pamela, who has 9 children, about their children not coming to church. She said the children don't want to come, but she can try.  So I encouraged her to bring them.  I was so blessed this morning to see that they brought some of the children with them!  Pake Jesu! Please help us pray that there would be a hunger for the Word and that children would grow up to embrace the faith and pass it on!  

   It's been a good week in Kisumu.  It feels like dry season is on the way.  It's been extra warm and the grass is starting to get brown again.  We enjoyed our visitors so much that it took some time to get back to "normal" again this week. But I think we've adjusted again, and life goes on! Precious memories linger! :)

   On Tues. morning Wayne had some business to do at the marriage office.  In the afternoon he went to Dienya to do an Instruction class interview with Pastor Mark.  The man interviewed was a policeman for 13 years, and then Chief of the area for over 20 years.  It's a rather unusual situation... and we're happy that he has a desire for truth.  He retired in May and says that for all these years he has worked in the other kingdom and now he wants to work in the Kingdom of God!  

   On Wed. we went to Ahero for Bible study at Johannes house.  There was a good turn out and we enjoyed our time very much!  Once during the Bible study a drunk man staggered in and starting addressing his "fellow colleagues".  It caused some snickering and then one of the men led him outside.  We were served rice and beans which was nice but I didn't want to eat too much because I wanted to save room for the chapatis and beans that we were looking forward to after we got home.  Joe's and Stacy enjoyed the evening meal with us.  

   On Thursday Wayne was busy with more visiting.  One of the visits was with Esther from Lela.  Joe and Wayne were together there and discussed her drinking problem with her.  She denied that she has been giving in to the temptation recently, but according to the testimony of others she has not been free.  So sad!  On the brighter side... in the afternoon Wayne and Tobias met with Monica from Ahero who had been excommunicated a few years ago for living with an Inheritor, but has turned from her sin and was able to be reaccepted into membership this morning.  

   On Friday our children went with us to Paul and Jane's house in Ahero.  There is no school right now because some of our teachers are at CBYC (Christian Believer's Youth Conference) in Nakuru for 10 days.  We were glad our children could go with us to deliver a baby bundle!  Jane is part of IC at Ahero but is rarely able to come to church because of health issues.  She gave birth to a baby boy around 2 wks. ago and his name is Marlin Shadrack!! :) Before going to Paul's house we stopped at Tobias' and Elizabeth's because Elizabeth hadn't seen the baby yet and wanted to go with us.  When we arrived at Paul's no one was home! After a bit some children came around and told us that they went to Nyangoma hospital... close to Awasi.  So we decided to see if we could find them there.  Sure enough!  We didn't have to look too hard until we saw Jane with the baby.  She was so happy to see us... I think she almost cried when she gave me a big hug.  We had a nice little visit and enjoyed cuddling her cute little boy.  It's so much fun to give these baby bundles!  Especially when we know the clothes and things came from our home church, and my girls and I had the fun of putting the bundles together.  We waited a bit until Paul and Jane were ready to go and then we gave them a lift back to their house which they appreciated very much!  From there we went to the Ahero church where Tony and Kore were doing a CAM project.  Judith and the children were there too and needed a ride to the compound.  Tony's and Kore stayed for the night and returned to Nakuru Sat. afternoon.  We enjoyed their short visit and the girls loved having a chance to spoil little Kaiden. :)  Jamie and Bradlyn have SO much fun together and it seems they play hard from morning until night!  Ayla and Tiffany get along well and had a great time!

   Yesterday afternoon Wayne went to a funeral in the Nyakoko area (James Anda died).  Wayne was asked to do the committal, since Bishop Joseph was unable to attend because of some back trouble.  There was a little bit of drama when the politicians wiggled their way in to speak at the end of the service and their tenure was cut short by a few church brothers!  At the graveside there was a bit more when the coffin needed to be taken back out because the grave was a little too short. Our dear brothers and sisters take these things in stride and don't get as worked up over some of these things as we Americans might.  This morning after our service at Ahero, Wayne needed to stop in at Lela where a members meeting was being held.  A few issues had come up that Joe felt he needed help with.  Sadly, Kevin's membership, was terminated, and two other members, Wellington and Esther, were put on proving. There is a bright spot.  Noah and Evelyn are desiring to come back to the church again after having been gone for about a year.  They were much loved and the church will be glad to have them back.  They left in good standing with the church and only because they live far from the church and did not have a good way to attend.  Noah has a piki piki now so attendance looks more possible. The children and I didn't stay for the meeting.  Glenda and her little one's caught a ride home with us as well.  

   The children are enjoying this break from school!  Wayne has been put on the CBYC board so he is expected to be there part of the time... so we plan to leave for Nakuru on Wed. and stay until Sun.  I'm so glad we can take our children with us!  Blessings on your week!    Clara for the Yoders

Special Family Times.....

 "The family is one of nature's masterpieces."

   "The love of a family makes life beautiful."

   "The love in our family flows strong and deep, leaving us memories to treasure and keep."

   Greetings from Kisumu!!  You probably wonder what's up with the Yoder family!  No news from here for quite a while!  Well we've been enjoying some wonderful family times!  Guess who was here?!!  My own dear sister Ruth, Mahlon, and their 6 children... Lyndon, Kendra, Angela, Kenton, Sherilyn, and Keisha!  This trip was a dream come true for their family... and for us!  It felt like a gift from God and we feel so blessed that things worked out so well for them to come and ticket prices were VERY cheap!  Kenya was home to Mahlon, Ruth, and their 3 oldest children from 1999 to 2001.  Kendra and Angela were born in Nakuru, so it was special for them to see the land where they were born.  They even got to visit the hospital and the Doctor who delivered them!

   Mahlons arrived in Nairobi on Nov. 11.  JoeAllen and Glenda had the privilege of picking them up at the airport.  Wayne had a CBF Executive Committee meeting in Kericho on Thursday and a Joint Pastors Meeting on Friday, so it worked out best for Joe's to pick them up in Nairobi and then we took them back at the end of their visit.  We sent Shonda and Vanessa with them to meet their cousins and enjoy the trip to Kisumu with them.  What a reunion when they FINALLY arrived here on Fri. eve. after many hours of travel!!  They were very weary but still in good spirits and we were SO happy to see them!!  Ruth and I could hardly run fast enough to meet each other! :)  The weekend was fairly relaxed.  We wanted to give them time to get over jet lag.  For the first part of their time here Mahlon's stayed in the empty house that we've been using for visitors here on the compound.  It was a blessing for them to have a place of their own and their house was centered across the lane between Joe's and us. 

   On Sunday Mahlon's and us attended church at Lela with Joe's.  There was Baptism and Communion scheduled there so it was a big day but it went well and hopefully Mahlon's enjoyed the experience.  There's really no comparison to church at home!  A fine young man, Amani, was baptized that day as well as an old man, Kisera, who was in Instruction class for years but seemingly could never come through with a clear testimony.  His mind was not always clear. But lately he was doing better and attending very faithfully so Wayne and Joe felt comfortable with going ahead with Baptism.  The old man was SOOO happy about that!  Sunday eve. we had an informal unit activity at Jake and Jan's house.  We sat around the fire until it rained, then went inside to visit.  We were very happy to have Marlin, Lavina, and Lavon, and Jadon Stoltzfus with us that weekend!  They flew to Kenya to help on the work project in Nakuru, building the steel roof structure for the new Lamp and Light office.  They spent two weekends in Kisumu and we were sorry that we didn't get to see more of them.  With having our own visitors here our schedules were full but at least we saw them and they seemed very happy to be here!  I'm sure the church at Kajulu was delighted to see them again!  We also enjoyed having John and Lois Stoltzfus ( Lester and Hannah's son)  in the area for a few weeks.  They were a blessing to us and a delight to have around. John had lived here in Kisumu with his family for about 5 years as a teen. The Ahero people were glad to see John as well and to meet his wife.

   On Monday Mahlon joined the Pastor's at their meeting.  Ruth, Glenda, Clarissa, Kendra, and I went to the Muslim shops to do some fabric shopping.  Since there was not a vehicle available for us to drive we hired a tuk tuk.  That was an adventure! :)  

   On Tues. Mahlon and Joe went to visit Bishop Eric.  Wayne visited Pastor William from Rabour and then Mahlon and Joe met him there to visit a bit as well.  Wayne also took the piki to Kajulu that day where he had a Pastor's meeting.  We ladies spent most of the day here but went to Nakumatt for a bit and then in the late afternoon we took Mahlon's to the Animal market.  That was a true African experience for Mahlon's children... all the bargaining and pressure to buy, etc.!  

   On Wednesday Joe's, Mahlon's and us headed to Masai Mara!  That was a first for Joe's and us and we LOVED it there!  Our minds were often drawn to God and his wonderful Creation. We ladies had a welcome break from cooking and the game drives were great.  We were hoping to see the big 5 but we only saw 4 of them.  We never saw a leopard or cheetah but we had great lion sightings and I was SO excited when we saw a group of 13 elephants!!  I was a bit unprepared for how close we got to the wild creatures!  The drivers drove right through the group of elephants and we got so close to some of the lions that if the lion would've wanted a quick meal she could've taken one flying leap and been inside our open window!  We were "privileged" to watch a lion snatch up a baby wart hog for a snack.  We were very close to her when she ate it.  One of the highlights for all of us was when a large group of Masai's came to the Lodge where we ate our meals and danced for us.  They were all decked out with beads and traditional dress and different hair pieces.  I've never seen the likes!!  They can jump like crazy!  Makes me tired to look at them.  One of the young men who was part of the "march" professes to be a Christian and works at the Mara.  He took a liking to Lyndon and grabbed his hand while they were jumping and got Lyndon to jump too.  He has been in touch with Lyndon and Wayne several times since we were there. Wayne gave him a Bible. The young man, David, gave Lyndon a bracelet that he was wearing on his arm.  Another highlight was the hippos!!  The worst thing was that they were so loud at night that some of our group had trouble sleeping.  Just below our cabins there was a river where a large group of over 60 hippos congregated.  They are such monstrous creatures and so ugly that they're really interesting! :)  
   On Friday we bounced and bumped our way back to Kisumu... close to 5 hours.  Mahlon drove one of the mission vans to Nakuru where their family spent the weekend.  They wanted to visit their friends from long ago and of course we wanted them to have the privilege.  Joe's and us weren't able to be with them there because of responsibilities here.  Soon after we arrived home from the Mara we were blessed with more visitors!!  Kore Beachy was here as well as his sister and family from Romania... Titus and JoAnn Miller and their 7 children.  They stayed until Tuesday.  We had a very nice time with them and hope they enjoyed their African experiences!  On Sunday Wayne had a nice break from preaching.  Titus preached at Kajulu and had a great message!    There was Communion service there that day. For lunch Kore, Titus' family, and us were invited to widow Jennifer's house for lunch.  We really enjoyed the food and fellowship... also the time spent singing!  They sang some beautiful songs for us and then Titus' family sang a Romanian song which we all enjoyed so much!  Their young boys can really sing!  We were all invited over to Joe's lawn that eve. to sit around the fire and enjoy our meal.

   Mahlon's arrived back from Nakuru on Sun. eve. and we were ready to have them back!  On Monday Mahlons, Titus' family, Joe's, Kore, and us went to Jennifer's Gardens to spend our family day there.  On our way up the very rocky hill our van wasn't able to get up over the rocks so we backed up and tried again. We made it that time but unfortunately a rock poked a hole into the transmission pan and we had a major leak.  The van lost power and so Kore towed us up the rest of the way with his powerful Cruiser.  Soon after we arrived at the Gardens Wayne and Joe left with Joe's vehicle to go to the town of Nandi Hills and get some transmission fluid.  Mahlon and Wayne were able to patch the hole with a rubber glove and a ratchet strap!   Our trip home went well... Thank God!!  More memories made! :)  We had a very relaxing day together and enjoyed  the chicken that Wayne grilled for us as well as potatoes, and cabbage salad. Yummy!!  Our whole crew was invited to Deans for supper that eve.!!  Bless Barbara Jean's heart for cooking for such a big crowd! The food was great and the break from cooking was great too!!  

  On Tues. Mahlon's school children joined ours at school again.  Our children loved having their cousins there!!  Mahlon, Ruth, Wayne and I went to Nick and Lillian's house in Nyagondo that day.  We picked up Fred's wife Caroline on the way and she spent the day at Nicks with us as well.  Mahlon's knew these two couples from their time in Nakuru years ago.  Lillian got Ruth and I to help her with preparing the food.  We chopped up tomatoes, onions, and helped with the chicken, and stirred ugali.  The food was SO good!  Caroline is a very sweet lady as well and we really enjoyed our time with them.  Nick shared some of his discouragements with us that day.  It appears he is experiencing a bitter reaping for things in the past and it's very hard for the church to trust again.  Pray for Wayne and Pastor Mark as they work through very difficult things.  On our way home we dropped Caroline off at her house and then stayed a bit to visit with her husband Fred as well.  He was very happy to see Mahlons and they told us the story of what happened during the riots in Nakuru back in 2008 when their house was burned as well as most everything they owned.  Caroline and her children narrowly escaped death.  God protected them as they escaped; walking right through a crowd of ruffians that were looking for them to kill them.  It so happened that Fred had Mahlon's family picture in his back pack when the house was burned so they still have that!  
   
   Wayne had a LONG meeting with Pastor Mark and the church brothers in Dienya on Wed.  Mahlon's and some of the children went with Joe's to Bible study at old Mama Silpa's house that day.  Early that morning Joe's and Mahlon's enjoyed a boat ride on Lake Victoria.  I stayed home and made breakfast for the crew when they got back.  In the eve. we all enjoyed a meal at the Yacht Club.  The lake was so beautiful and relaxing.  It ended up raining then and got quite chilly but we enjoyed it anyway!  We were very happy to have Tony and Judith's family join us there!  They stayed in Kisumu until Fri. so we got to spend time with some of the Bender family and some of the Yoder family on Thanksgiving Day! 

   Thanksgiving Day was enjoyed by all!!  In the morning Tony took his former students, Lyndon, Kendra, Angela, and Clarissa out to Java House for breakfast ... Shonda joined them too.  they also went to the Equator. According to pictures they had a nice time! Jake and Jan hosted the Thanksgiving event at their house.  The single ladies here did a great job of decorating the tables.  Ruth made some of her famous Amish roast (dressing) and I made some Refreshing summer salad.  Glenda did chicken.  We also had ham, mashed potatoes, cauliflower and broccoli salad, and pumpkin torte for dessert!!  Everything was great!  Thanks to all the visitors from America who brought us ingredients to make this special meal!  Joseph and Becky are also blessed with visitors right now....her brother Laverne and Evelyn Schlabach and family from Missouri. Evelyn is a daughter of Willie Miller so we were able to make some connections there.  Dean and Barbara Jean were in charge of activities that day and did a good job of making it interesting! :)

   On Friday our family and Mahlon's headed to Nairobi!  We stopped in Nakuru a while to do a bit more shopping, etc.  Our trip went well for the most part but I'm always SO relieved to reach our destination safe and sound.  These roads are far from relaxing!  I wasn't easy to say goodbye to my wonderful sister and family but we are left with GREAT memories!  Thanks so much for coming and brightening our days!  God was so good to us in granting safety, health, and strength! Truly family ties are a wonderful blessing from God!  Our trip home on Sat. was rather quiet and uneventful.  Sunday was another big day!  Baptism and Communion was scheduled at Dienya.  A husband, wife, and two other sisters were baptized, and another lady taken in as a full member. It's a nice feeling to know that all 5 Communion services are behind us now. We did enjoy each one though!  It's a blessing to connect with the churches in this way. The service lasted until close to 1:30 and then we went to Marks for a very delicious lunch!  Thanks Mary Ellen!!  We were relieved to reach home safely soon after 5.  Whew!!  We were all tired last eve. and ready for bed!  

   This ended up being a very long letter!!  I won't blame you at all if you don't take time to read it all!  Thanks again to all our wonderful church family and friends who sent all kinds of nice things for us with Mahlons!  We feel indebted to you and unworthy!  God bless you real good!!!  Clara for the Yoder's
