Thursday we visited the Funyula Market and saw more of the culture of Kenya. We met some of Sango’s family and saw their shops. One nephew was selling clothing and two others sell grain for planting. From there we went to the Sijoa church and met with the Pastor and members. We shared introductions and prayed together. Then we went to the Sijoa Primary school. The students had just been dismissed for lunch so we rested and some played soccer with the kids who stayed at the school. Then the kids were assembled by grades and students in grades 3-8 were presented with a New Testament, pencil and a scripture book mark. The children in grades 1 & 2 were given a Wordless Book and a pencil. Heather and Walter explained the Gospel using the Wordless Book to the children in grades 1 and 2. As the older grades were dismissed they heard Heather speaking and were interested in the message and gathered around to listen.
We said our goodbyes to the Sijoa School and headed just down the road to the Sugulu Primary school. We were met by many happy faces and the teachers quickly had the children assemble in classes. We were able to present every student in grades 4-8 with a New Testament Bible, pencil and bookmark. There were more students than we expected but praise God we had enough Bibles to share! The younger students had already gone home for the day. We said goodbye and went back to the Sijoa church.

We were planning to show the Jesus Film here tonight but the sky made us wonder if the rain would be joining us. We finally decided to not show the film until tomorrow because the rain worsened. We returned to the Farmview Hotel in Busia and enjoyed dinner together. God blessed us with another wonderful day!
