John Wambu, with whom I work closely at Made in the Streets both in our building projects and relations to government offices, often says, "We can't take a vacation; we have work to do." He hardly ever takes a day off, and I almost never take a day off when we are in Nairobi. Street ministry and the boarding program are a 24/7 deal.
But vacations are really nice, as we found out again when we stopped off in Paris on our way back to the USA. Paul and Edie Tews hosted us with great kindness. Here is a picture of us in the Tuileries Gardens having lunch on Sunday afternoon. Delightful!
It was great attending French worship with them on Sunday morning -- what a cosmopolitan church, with many members from West and North Africa, both immigrants and second generation. And such noisy and happy fellowship before and after the worship time. And in the evening, after English worship, they had a fellowship meal. We were happy to get in on that, as the preacher is a good cook. Here is a picture of us with Roland and Rosa at the church building.
