“The Communion of the Saints”, as it talks about in the Apostle’s Creed, was one of the most poignant things about the trip for me. With missionaries from over ten countries, each meal was a cultural experience. Even though most of the missionaries work side by side, we even felt like we’d always known them. The Newsboys song that says “It’s all God’s children singing Glory, Glory, Hallelujah He Reigns” rang so true as we all fellowshipped and worshiped. I also saw this bond in the children. 3 yr old boys speak the same language regardless if they are American or Nigerian... running and playing with water balloons fun. The kids were a joy to spend time with and it was so hard to leave them.
On one of the last days, we went on a Safari outside Nairobi. Watching the sunrise on the Serengeti is one of the most phenomenal displays of God’s glory and creativity. We saw herds of giraffe, gazelle, antelope, zebra, water buffalo, wildebeests, crocodiles, a pride of lions feasting on a zebra. Driving around for six hours just taking it all in was truly a one of a kind experience.
