Nairobi Women's Ministries

Thursday – I, Marlene, went by bus into downtown Nairobi with Jan, where a lot of poor Muslim people live. Jan said she has never seen another white woman down in that area before. She visits several Muslim women once a week. I met about 6 of them. Jan has been developing relationships with them over the years, all the while, loving them with Christ’s love. I enjoyed the experience, but getting around was something else, dodging buses, vans and bicycles and heavy pedestrian traffic, holding on tightly to my camera and bag! By God’s protection and trust she does this alone every week!
From there she and I went to the church where she leads a Bible study. I was introduced to the 6 ladies, with one of the leaders asking me some questions, to which I was able to share a brief testimony of my love of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jan has been teaching on Creation and the fall of man using storytelling with pictures. She does an excellent job and keeps their interest. One or two are believers, the others are seeking.
After the study they have a sewing class, where they are being taught how to sew. It is a good friendship/fellowship time.
