These are the Fundis (day-laborers) that have been leveling the playing field at West Nairobi School for the past several months, and some office staff. The work was all done by hand with picks, shovels, and wheelbarrows. It was an awesome thing to see the transformation take place. Most of these workers live in the slums of Kibera and Kawangwari.
We didn't want them to leave WNS with just there wages so we decided to give them a feast of goat stew and nyama choma, ugali, rice pilau, cabbage and vegetables to show our appreciation for their hard work. Since we're a Christian school we also wanted to give them a gift of eternal significance, so...........
After the feasting was through............
I shared the Gospel with them.
Then we presented them each with a Bible in their native tongue, Swahili, or English. Now the seed has been planted and you can pray that God will apply the Word to their hearts and bring many to repentance and saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

It still amazes me how much we catch ourselves taking "things" for granted. PTL for your willingness to serve HIM in ways that would be out of the comfort zone to us.
