Kisuma, Kenya: July 2007

This is a report from Chris Meredith from his recent time in Kenya.

Paul Wood and I returned from Kenya on Monday after spending 8 days travelling to and from Kisumu to various parts of the western province.

December that year I became a grandfather and had told Ashley that the baby had to come on 12/12 as a sign that God was releasing a new level of governmental authority in the body. I was wrong with the date – there were no birth pangs at all!!!
