Car Wash

Today we woke up in the morning with a goal to raise Ksh.13000 for one of the College Ministry leaders Gedion Kadu. Gedion graduated from seminary this year and had a balance in his school fees so they are holding his degree in school. The students and leaders in the Ministry decided today to wash cars at the church to raise the money for him so thats what we did the whole of yesterday.

It was very slow at the begining with only a handful of cars showing up and few shillings raised. Most the people who came to help tired of just standing around started scattering, but then late in the afternoon it picked up with Oneal (one of our friends) taking lead we started washing every car that made a stop at the church parking lot or anywhere near there.

Drew also came to the car wash not derailed by the packing he had to do because he is leaving Kenya in a few hours (of course he paid for it later but staying up until 2 packing:)). He was in the fore front of the car wash with Patrick. Most Matatu (Public Service Vehicles) drivers were shouting, "let the Mzungus (white people) Wash my car!!!" And they did it...People here think that white people cannot do anything and it a sight for them seeing them running around carrying buckets and washing cars.

Present during the carwash also was Allison who worked very hard besides me to wash my car (the only car in parking lot at the time) before she had to leave to go meet with her friend Sandra at her house.

The day ended well with us raising Ksh.9000 and we are hoping to raise the rest in church today during the service. We thank God for the provision of the money and for all the volunteers who showed up to not only make the day a success but full of fun!

After the carwash we had our College Night Live service in Church where Gedion (The guy in Red below) Shared on "Remembering your creator in the days of your youth". After the preaching we had a brief appreciation session for Drew where the College students and volunteers just encouraged Drew by recapping the last four months with him here.

After the service took Drew to one of his favorite joints in Mombasa town for dinner. it was very late dinner but very good! I think this is the best Chinese food place in Mombasa (Not to mention that its the only one I have been to) at very affordable prices. To this end I can say nothing But that God is Good All the Time - and my friends He truly is.
