WHY PEOPLE COME by Darlene

   We are curious at times as to why people come to Kamulu Church of Christ; we got some answers this past week.  Our women's prayer group was at our house Thursday.  There is always chai (Kenya tea) to drink, and cake at our home (other homes, they serve bread with margarine). We began talking about how they came to this church.  All but Maureen and one other came because of their children enjoying our Sunday school.  The other woman came because the women came to her when she moved in and invited her.  What a valuable asset our children's program is!  Here is a picture of one of our Sunday school classes. 
  The women also talked about Mbuvi's preaching.  They all agree that "Mbuvi preaches to your heart."  
  These women have dedicated 
themselves to pray and act so that the community will know about the church and the street ministry and dispel rumors.  And they hope in talking to their neighbors they will also gain people coming to church.  So this Sunday there were 3 visitors - the one family I talked with came because of Sunday school.  They are new to the area and the man asked about Made in the Streets - Charles talked with him and he is really interested and pleased.  He said, "I have been to several churches looking, and here the preaching is quite different and good. I like it here."  He had his three children with him, and his wife joined the women after church for prayer.
